And hello again.

So I woke up this morning to see that the issue had been marked
resolved, and that you determined that the spike did not affect your
customers.  I was furious!  But then I actually took the time to
carefully debug my application, and I see that in fact the problem was
mine.  I was trying to fetch a URL with an unescaped space in it.

I'm sorry that I'm such a tool.  My cred is out the window at this
point I know, but if you want to stem future frustration from and for
idiots like me, a more helpful error message would be a good place to
start.  Here's the trace that pops out now:

<pre>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File &quot;/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/
__init__.py&quot;, line 501, in __call__
    handler.get(*groups)
  File &quot;controllers/migration.py&quot;, line 187, in get
    x = p.points100_in_between_dates(datetime(2009,4,14),datetime
(2009,6,14))
  File &quot;models/player.py&quot;, line 49, in
points100_in_between_dates
    stats = self.stats_in_between_dates(start_date,end_date)
  File &quot;models/player.py&quot;, line 41, in
stats_in_between_dates
    stats = json.read(urlfetch.fetch(url).content)
  File &quot;/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/api/
urlfetch.py&quot;, line 267, in fetch
    raise DownloadError(str(e))
DownloadError: ApplicationError: 2



How about BadUrlError or something like that?
