There's a little bug that keeps this from working:
raise webob.exc.HTTPNotFound('blah blah', content_type='application/xml')
(fixed on trunk though)
But you should be able to do this:
e = webob.exc.HTTPNotFound()
e.body = '<blah />'
e.content_type = 'application/xml'
raise e # or e.exception on python2.4
Now... if "html" and "*/*" aren't in the HTTP Accept header, the automatic
body *should* be plain text, not HTML (but it won't be XML, if that's what
you want).
It's also possible that Pylons' status code redirect thing is rewriting the
error response; so if this doesn't work then the problem is probably there.
