Not sure if this is fahclient side or web control side, but more detailed (less cryptic) error messages would help a lot in troubleshooting.

There's no easy way to make all error messages understandable for most users. Many of the error messages are not meant to be understood by the end user because explaining many of the errors would be difficult if not impossible. They are meant to be passed on via a bug report to the developer.

I recon couple of word hint would be helpful to us, more advanced users. Let's say instead of

10:58:34:I1:WU6:Uploading WU results
10:58:34:I1:OUT1506:> POST https://ds03.scs.illinois.edu/api/results HTTP/1.1
10:58:52:E :OUT1504:Failed response: EOF

expand into:
Failed responce: Connection Failed or whatever EOF is actually abreviating
At the moment EOF is kinda cryptic.

The reason I am targeting more advanced users is because "normal" users will simply come to forum or discord and ask: "My fah is not working" regardless on how detailed the error message is. So if we, advanced users have some sort of hint on what the error means, we could guide others to do some troubleshooting and maybe fixing the issue

EOF = End of File
