Misleading error message
Status: closed (fixed)

The error message: Server got itself in trouble is
- somewhat colloquial
- grammatically incorrect
- and most importanty misleading
The RFC error message listed for server errors:
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
is more familiar for those coming from the CGI world and it does better communicate that it is a programming error.
cheers,

- status changed from new to closed.
- resolution set to fixed.
Fixed in [899]. I looked through the other error messages which BaseHTTPRequestHandler supplies; none but 500 seemed worth changing. If developers want to modify lib/httptools.responseCodes manually, they may do so.
