Greater than 512 bytes will override IE 6, 7, 8 and Chrome's helpful error messages. In fact, for certain error response codes, only greater than 256 bytes is required for IE to display the server supplied message. Depending on IE version, these values are in the registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\ErrorThresholds. It's important to note that certain versions of IE use the value of the Content-Length header, rather than the actual size of the message body. This can cause a difference if the content is gzip'ed, so you must ensure that the gzip'ed content is still large enough.
