ERROR: dist\homeomorphic-0.1.tar.gz: 400 Error in upload 400 error in upload - not the worlds most helpful error message... Duncan says: Indeed. There is an error message available but I'm not sure how we get at it. Any ideas Ross?

Cabal upload is presumably ignoring the message because it wants plain text, but the CGI library doesn't offer that. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/267#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

That'd be great. At the moment we're sending `Accept: text/plain` and getting `Content- Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1` as a response. As a note to whoever wants to do the client-side change in future: inspect {{{ [ s | Header HdrContentType s <- rspHeaders resp ] }}} to see if it starts with `"text/plain"` and if so print the `rspBody resp` -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/267#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

That is done by `outputError` in the cgi package. Björn Bringert is rewriting `outputError` and friends to check HTTP_ACCEPT and send the error messages as text/plain if requested. When that's done, the server side will require only a recompile. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/267#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
