We've seen exceptions caused by people getting the file storage link wrong, adding a slash to the end.

e.g. ​http://ckan.net/storage/f/file/e696d857-e997-41c8-be08-408697168ca8/

We should aim to handle all requests better than causing exception. 404 (or even 302 in this case) is better than 500.

Markdown produces Debug logging, even when the pylons logging config is set to level of Info or Warning. This clogs up the logfile.

We need an email function in CKAN to accept messages sent to users. The basic signature will be:

• mail_user(user_obj, subject, body, mime_type='text/plain', headers={})

This has a number of use cases:

• Retrieval of lost passwords
• E-Mail confirmation

Finally, the mail function should be exposed in the API for sysadmin clients. This way we can have scripts traverse CKAN for 404s, invalid data or missing fields and ping users about that automatically (requires traversal by revision, not package, to get the associated users).

Implementation

Note we have already written code like this (*and* tested it) in isitopen:
