Description

If you have flatpages activated, it will choke on a unicodedecodeerror if the requested url contains a non-ascii character and no trailing slash.

Example url:
http://www.example.com/%20%C3%A5

This will trigger this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

response = callback(request, *callback_args, callback_kwargs)
