Display a different page for localhost?

I've got an ASP.NET-hosted WCF application. At the moment, it displays a 403.14 - Forbidden: The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. error.

I'd like to replace this with something friendlier. However, I'd like to display a different page to localhost than to other visitors. The localhost page should have a little bit more information about where to look in the documentation for example.

try to use the redirectmode RemoteOnly in your webconfig. Then your remote connections will display your custom errorpage, but locally you will recieve the yellow screen of death.

<system.web>
<customErrors defaultRedirect="SiteErrorPage.aspx" mode="RemoteOnly">
</customErrors>
<system.web>

You can add a Default.aspx to your WCF project. In the code behind you can add the following line in your Page_Load

if (HttpContext.Current.Request.IsLocal) 
{
  // Show localhost information 
  // or use Server.Transfer to move to another aspx file.
}

you can do this

bool isLocal = HttpContext.Current.Request.IsLocal;

and then display whatever you want or redirect according to isLocal.
