[Zope-dev] XML-RPC incorrect 404 return code

[zope at netchan.cotse.net]

I reported this a few month ago with a patch and was told that it'll be
applied 'soon':
http://collector.zope.org/Zope/1175

IMHO the xml-rpc error handling is a mess. You can't define your own
standard_error_message like method, sometimes it returns html code, sets
the status code to 200 even if there's an error, etc. Is there an
intention to fix these in 2.X?
