You've said that the current behavior is wrong, and you're saying that it's wrong to preserve the current behavior as the default but to allow it to be overridden. The only suggestion for new behavior that you've made, I think, is that the traceback should be text/plain instead of text/html. Is that what you're advocating? >The bottom line is that twisted.web contains the only implement of HTTP >in twisted which unfortunately is muddled in HTML. You keep saying things like this, but I think you're blowing the issue far out of proportion. As far as I can tell, there is one place in Twisted Web where HTML will be output when the application doesn't explicitly request it. I don't think that's "muddled" or "inextricable". It's simple to address; probably it could be fixed with not much more time than has been spent writing messages in this thread. >Get the HTML out of the HTTP protocol implementation.

Please, file a ticket and attach a patch. Take a look at the TwistedDevelopment and ReviewProcess pages on the wiki. Someone will take a look, we can have some discussion about the specifics of the implementation, and more likely than not, the issue can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Thanks!
