That seems sane. > This implementation is sub-optimal in my opinion.

Or do things like z3c.testbrowser also use it? I'm -1 for breaking backwards compatibility. > Code relying on the 'x-zope-handle-errors' header will > break.

It's times like this when I want to have a full checkout of everything in svn.zope.org (or, better yet, a search page on the web). Grepping in my shared buildout egg cache, I see that 'x-zope-handle-errors' appears in zope.testbrowser only. It is documented in the README as an API between testbrowser and the server it's testing, so I'm inclined to prefer the first, backwards-compatible solution. > Please let me know if either of these solutions is OK with you.
