Merb devel - Jun 2007 - Default 500 Error Page in Production

Currently, Merb just shows a string on error: "500 Internal Server
Error"

I''ve added this to my merb_init.rb:

if MERB_ENV == ''production''
  module Merb
    def self.html_exception(e)
      File.read(DIST_ROOT + "/public/500.html")
    end
  end
end

http://nubyonrails.com/500.html

Potentially a plugin could be written to log this to the database.
However, I think the default in production should be to render a
500.html error page from the public directory. This allows for much
easier customization.

Objections?
