I have a DTML object that calls an external method which returns an image. It works correctly for some images, but not for others. I am using Zope 2.5.0, python2.1.3 on Linux 2.4.18. I get the following traceback when it doesn't work: Zope Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: TypeError Error Value: argument 2 must be string or read-only buffer, not ImplicitAcquirerWrapper Troubleshooting Suggestions * The URL may be incorrect. * The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. * A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error.
