[Tracker-discuss] [issue111] Roundup not fault tolerant enough about duplicate form values.

[Stefan Seefeld]

New submission from Stefan Seefeld:

I'm receiving mails with stack traces about this exception a
couple of times per day:

--------
File
"/home/roundup/roundup-production/lib/python2.4/site-packages/roundup/cgi/templating.py",
line 2234, in _post_init
    self.search_text = self.form[name].value

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'value'
--------


The underlaying error appears to be that Roundup's CGI handler
expects a single form value where multiple values are present
(in the incoming URL).

While the URL may in fact be wrong, it would be good if Roundup
could still tolerate it (or at least provide a more meaningful
error message to the user, instead of sending a stack trace to
the admin).

Has anything been done to enhance this ?
