Description James Forrester 2012-12-15 00:21:10 UTC 
Parsoid diff failure errors are not very descriptive - "error loading data from server: unsuccessful request: diff failed." but not why (in this case, it was because the target oldid had been deleted subsequent to the user pressing save, but a more graceful message would be good.

Comment 3 James Forrester 2014-09-02 19:00:01 UTC 
With the above patch, the former message:

    Error loading data from server: parsoidserver-http-bad-status:
    500. Would you like to retry?

… turns into:

    Error loading data from server: parsoidserver-http-bad-status:
    500: Page Fetch failure for "BADURL": Error: getaddrinfo
    ENOTFOUND. Would you like to retry?

Which is not ideal, but at least describes things a bit. Marking this as FIXED.
