I'm using modpython 3.3 and publisher.

I'm trying to use the LimitRequestBody directive and it works to
prevent the uploding of big files.

The problem I'm having is that although an error is logged by Apache,
a 200 response is sent to the browser. It looks like my publisher
module is not called after Apache catches the file upload error or it
is called and somehow a 20 bytes body is sent with a 200 code. I can't
see those 20 bytes in the browser, the html source is blank.

I would like my publisher module to be called so I can handle the
error and send an appropriate page to the client. Is it possible with
the publisher?
