When a servlet exception occurs, set the HTTP status code to 500,
"Servlet Error". Thanks to Radoslaw Kintzi.
I recently noticed that Internet Explorer sometimes now displays a generic
"The page cannot be displayed" error message instead of Webware's "The site
is having technical difficulties with this page" message on servlet errors.
I'm not sure why the behavior is not 100% reproducible or why it's
IE-specific. If I comment out this line from ExceptionHandler.py:
self._res.setStatus(500, "Servlet Error")
then IE seems to always display Webware's message, as it should. It seems
that sometimes, but not always, IE replaces the appserver-supplied error
message with its own message when the status is 500.
I would like to switch the code back to the way it used to be, unless
there's some important reason to use status code 500 that I'm missing. Any
comments?
