In one case you're returning a semi-friendly 500 to the browser, but get little detail. In the other, you get a great stack, but nothing returned to the user. No way to strike a balance?

Is there any way to attach the HTTP request path that resulted in an error being thrown, to the Error object itself, either as part of the message or as an additional property? I suppose now that the event is renamed it could just be:

server.on('request-error', function (request, err) {
  console.error('Error response (500) sent for request: ' +
    request.id + ' at ' + request.url.path +' because: ' +
    (err.trace || err.stack || err));
});
