Hi all,

There is (or at least was in 0.9rc1) a type error in the error handling code for the "invalid origin" error. If you tried to use a "force build" button from an invalid origin, it would cause this exception:

        Traceback (most recent call last):

        exceptions.TypeError: HTTP response code must be int or long

Below is a patch that fixes the bug. Basically, the problem was that errcode was the string '400' instead of the number 400. It would likely be better to prevent errcode from being a string in the first place, if someone more familiar with the code knows how to do this. However, it looks like the code raising the error does so with a number:
from twisted.web.error import Error
...
err = "invalid origin"
...
raise Error(400, err)

So maybe the unexpected int -> str conversion is somewhere inside twistd.

After having fixed that bug, I discovered that the UI, at least when using Chrome, completely failed to show any kind of feedback when an "invalid origin" error was correctly sent back to the browser. The force build dialog just stayed open and did nothing when the button was clicked. In light of this, I added the "if True" below so we would at least be able to look up errors in the log, even if the UI wouldn't show them. This is more of a workaround for a UI bug.
