Description
Currently if you try to upload a file for a media type that isn't handled / isn't currently registered, you get the 500 error page and in the traceback get: :: File '/home/cwebber/devel/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/app.py', line 171 in __call__ response = controller(request) File '/home/cwebber/devel/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/decorators.py', line 50 in new_controller_func return controller(request, *args, **kwargs) File '/home/cwebber/devel/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/submit/views.py', line 53 in submit_start media_type, media_manager = get_media_type_and_manager(filename) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable This isn't helpful; we should give an error page yes, but one with useful information that says "sorry, we couldn't recognize that media type, it might not be supported or not enabled for this site", or something. This is a semi-bitesized task.
