The problem, I think, is that the example error_message isn't a valid
replacement. The example string is:
# error_message = '<html><body><h1>Invalid request</h1></body></html>'
But the internal default message is this:
p.error_message = '<html><body><h1>%s</h1></body></html>'
and it gets used like this:
raise HTTP(404,
rewrite.thread.routes.error_message %
'invalid request',
web2py_error='invalid application')
Notice that the string must contain exactly one format element, %s. Otherwise
Python will raise TypeError.
(One of these days will have the T function working in gluon, and these
messages can be localized.)
