What's the point of hiding the actual error from the user? about boom HOT 5 CLOSED

Usually 500 errors are unexpected ones, you certainly don't want any of those errors leaking to your clients, that would be a security issue. You are probably not transforming those into appropriate boom errors.

server.js

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var Boom = require('boom');
var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({port: '8888'});
server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/test',
  handler: function (request, reply) {
    var err = new Error('custom message');
    reply(Boom.wrap(err));
  }
});
server.start();

$ node server.js

$ curl http://localhost:8888/test
{"statusCode":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"An internal server error occurred"}

Look at the documentation, it explicitly says that without any status code it defaults to 500.
