[zope2-tracker] [Bug 1554880] [NEW] standard_error_template dtml method does not render properly when errors occur

Wed Mar 9 05:21:40 CET 2016

Public bug reported:

Normally, when you try to visit a URL that is not mapped to any object
in zope you get an error message like this, I'll copy and paste the html
code in from "view-source" in my browser:

<html>
  <head><title>MSCS</title></head>
  <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

               <h2>Site Error</h2>
  <p>An error was encountered while publishing this resource.
  </p>
  <p><strong>Resource not found</strong></p>

  Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.<p>Check the URL and try again.</p><p><b>Resource:</b> http://www.math.uic.edu/man</p>
  <hr noshade="noshade"/>

  <p>Troubleshooting Suggestions</p>

  <ul>
  <li>The URL may be incorrect.</li>
  <li>The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect.</li>
  <li>A resource that this resource relies on may be
      encountering an error.</li>
  </ul>

For more detailed information about the error, please
 refer to the error log.

If the error persists please contact the site maintainer.
 Thank you for your patience.

</html>

What do I get in  Zope2 (2.13.24)?  Well, let's do the same thing:

<html>
  <head><title>Zope</title></head>
  <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<h2>Site Error</h2>
 An error was encountered while publishing this resource.
 
 Resource not found

  Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.<p>Check the URL and try again.</p><p><b>Resource:</b> oops
GET</p>
  <hr noshade="noshade"/>

  <p>Troubleshooting Suggestions</p>

  <ul>
  <li>The URL may be incorrect.</li>
  <li>The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect.</li>
  <li>A resource that this resource relies on may be
      encountering an error.</li>
  </ul>

For more detailed information about the error, please
 refer to the error log.

If the error persists please contact the site maintainer.
 Thank you for your patience.

  </body>
</html>

What does that render as?  Well something vaguely resembling the html
code the DTML document is supposed to produce.  Surely that's not what's
supposed to happen.
