[mod_python] Publisher Handler

Try this:

def say(req, what="NOTHING"):
	req.content_type = "text/html"
        return "I am saying %s" % what
 

This is sort of a "bug"...  The publisher handler attempts to guess the
content_type, but *only* it isn't set already. Depending on your
configuration, Apache may take the liberty of setting it (in
mod_negotation for example). So far I haven't figured out a clean solution
to this.
