Web browser clients are the most common case, at least at this point in time. On the flip side, if you don't assume a web browser client, you can't assume anything; why would a client be more likely to be able to handle text/plain than text/html? If it's trying to actually parse the error response (SOAP comes to mind), neither of those representations are likely to be of use to the client, so you need to implement your own error handler anyway, to send back XML (or whatever). -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
