I got the following error in a live site where a utf character (test string 'Îñţérñâţîöñåļîžæ†îøñ') was submitted:
400 Bad Request

I can fix this using <form type="POST" accept-charset="utf-16">.
Normally, I catch errors in application code and log them or email them to myself, but this error never reached my application code which runs on TurboGears 1.5.
Any idea on how I can hook in to catch and log errors generated by CherryPy, and secondarily, give the user a better 404 page?
The method of error handling listed at _cperror.html#unanticipated-errors doesn't work for this sort of error (but kicks in on e.g. static file missing)
