[Zope-dev] Improper exception handling for XML-RPC requests

ZPublisher.Publish.publish_module incorrectly calls the exception() method of the *old* response object (i.e., an HTTPResponse) when an exception occurs. This results in an xmlrpclib.ProtocolError on the calling end, rather than a Fault() as should occur. To correct, change the 'except:' clauses of publish_module() to call request.response.exception() instead of just response.exception(). This bug has been submitted to the Collector. There are a couple of other odd behavior patterns relating to XML-RPC calls and ZPublisher/Zope that Ty and I are trying to nail down; hopefully we'll have more precise definitions, if not fixes for them, sometime soon.
