Hello there!
I got this neat idea, and I'm not sure if it is supposed to work...

Quick (if you're not interested in the full scenario)
Is it possible to invoke: WSGIController.__call__(self, environ,
start_response) many times during 1 http request to Pylons?


A bit longer description:
My user scenario is:
Browser/user sends request --->
     1* server receives and calls some Controller
     1* WSGIController.__call__(self, environ, start_response) is
being invoked, which..
     1* raises some Exception (database deadlock)
     <-- error middleware catches exception, and redirects error page
user gets error page -->

Above is normal situation. I'd like to improve it, so that server
itself tries to handle db exception by restarting the request and
_maybe_ next time DB will unlock tables, so that
still-the-same-request can be processed without an error to the user.

So here is what I do:

Browser/user sends request --->
     * server receives and calls some Controller
     1* WSGIController.__call__(self, environ, start_response) is
being invoked, which..
     1* raises some Exception (database deadlock)
     2* I catch the exception and run again:
WSGIController.__call__(self, environ, start_response)
     2* still raises some Exception (database deadlock)
     3* I catch the exception and run again:
WSGIController.__call__(self, environ, start_response)
     * db is now unlocked and requests completes
     <-- some Mako page is returned to a user
user SHOULD gets some success page -->


What happens is that returned value from __call__(..) is not quite
HTML string. Rather, it's a concatenation of final HTML with the same
HTML page with tags escaped...
So instead of str("<html>Hello</html>")
I get str("&lt;html&gt;Hello&lt;/html&gt;<html>Hello</html>") which is wrong...

Should I call sth else before calling __call__ again()
Will it work, can it be done?

Thanks for any response

T.
