Crash when user agent doesn't specify the HTTP_ACCEPT header accessing a controller method with repoze restrictions

Reported by: amol Owned by:

Component: TurboGears Version: 2.0.3
Severity: blocker Keywords:

Description

If you try to access a controller method that specifies a @require (like user being authenticated) without specifying "Accept:" header and without meeting the requirements you will get "TypeError?: You cannot set Response.body to a unicode object (use Response.unicode_body)"

You can easily reproduce the error by trying to access a @require(predicates.not_anonymous()) method with "curl -H 'Accept: '  http://localhost:8080/method"

I was not able to reproduce the bug with latest development version of TurboGears running on Python 2.6.2. Could you provide a test case?

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to wontfix

I'm closing this one. I have tried it myself and it works fine. I've had multiple people also try to track it down. If someone can provide a testcase I will gladly accept a re-opened ticket before rc1.
