Malformed XML request returns vague error

Reported by Nate | March 3rd, 2009 @ 04:49 AM | in 3.x

When sending a malformed xml request on rails 2.3 rc1, you receive a vague error leading the user to believe the problem is an application one instead of an input one.

http://github.com/rails/rails/bl...

throws an exception which is re-raised below:

http://github.com/rails/rails/bl...

which is then rescued and returns a response from:

http://github.com/rails/rails/bl...

The response is a generic 500 error html response (and it should be at least returning an xml response).

I'm not sure where to begin with fixing this, any ideas?

This will reopen the ticket for review. Likewise, if you feel that this is a very important feature for Rails to include, please reply with your explanation so we can consider it.
