The cause is probably:

  *  "SkinnedFolder" defines "index_html" to be "None"

  *  "PortalFolder" does not define "index_html" nor "__call__".
     This means "index_html" is acquired from "SkinnedFolder"
     and as it is "None", it is not used.

  *  As "PortalFolder" does not define "__call__" the object
     itself is returned

  *  "RESPONSE" is unable to convert the object into a sensefull
     string and raises the exception you see.
