Click this above link, and get an error:


Server Error in '/ArcGIS/services' Application.

              Runtime Error

                            Description: An application error occurred on the  server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent  the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for  security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on  the local server machine.            

             Details: To enable the details of this specific error  message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a  <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file  located in the root directory of the current web application. This  <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to  "Off".

                                                                       <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>                                                              
             Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be  replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect"  attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to  point to a custom error page URL.

                                                                       <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

That isn't a valid URL through a browser. It's the way to access the locator service through Desktop.

Here's REST URL: http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/ESRI_Places_World/GeocodeServer

And the SOAP URL: http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/services/Locators/ESRI_Places_World/GeocodeServer?wsdl

I see in our item details for World Places that we hyperlinked the Desktop URL. That seems confusing (because if you click it, you will open a browser window and get the error you report). We'll remove the hyperlink to avoid more confusion.
