module ActionDispatch
+ # When called, this middleware renders an error page. By default if an html
+ # response is expected it will render static error pages from the `/public`
+ # directory. For example when this middleware receives a 500 response it will
+ # render the template found in `/public/500.html`.
+ # If an internationalized locale is set, this middleware will attempt to render
+ # the template in `/public/500.<locale>.html`. If an internationalized template
+ # is not found it will fall back on `/public/500.html`.
+ #
+ # When a request with a content type other than HTML is made, this middleware
+ # will attempt to convert error information into the appropriate response type.
