Is the standard_error_message supposed to be used in all cases that an error is raised? It doesn't seem to be getting used when I get a 404 (NotFound) error. All it returns is the basically formatted error "Sorry, the requested document does not exist." and the traceback (and title).

I've tried changing the standard_error_message doc method but it never appears for this type of error. How can I get it to use the standard error document.

John, standard_error_message is only called when the error is raised in the object database. If the browser requests an object that doesn't exist, ZPublisher raises it's own error. This is compounded by the fact that pcgi has a whole slew of *real* pretty error messages that have an even more interesting "format". :) It is generaly agreed that the Module that ZPublisher publishes should define hook methods when ZPublisher encounters various error conditions in the context of the protocol being used (for example, in XML-RPC, what sense does '404' make and who cares about a pretty formated HTML response?). This is where even we get confused. Do I hear the sound of a volunteer? :) -Michel

Thanks,
