Updating Metadata Error

[gevans_wb]

When updating the metadata on a file, after clicking update an error is given - "Internal Server Error
An internal error occurred. Please try again, and if the problem continues, contact your site administrator. " The metadata record is updated even though the error is given.

I am unable to reproduce this error based on your description of it.

Which metadata record were you editing, and what was the change you made to it?

I found a metadata document with some non-ascii characters in it that caused an exception (the HTTP library we are using defaults to ASCII encoding). Probably that's the issue. Today's (somewhat impromptu) redeployment includes a fix for that issue.

Galen, can you try your edits again and let us know if the issue is resolved?

 http://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/commit/6e97003788a6b9bb9675c08d49aa94ed378c003c is the relevant changeset, btw.

Bumping down in priority until this can be reproduced or confirmed to be closed.

Without better reproduction steps I don't think this ticket is useful; we'll just have to hope that other catalog work resolves the problem.
