#20 v0.1.4 (Feb 2006) - HTTP internal server error not handled

[Toni Prug]

It is to expect that gmail servers are rarely returning
internall server error, hence it isn't that easy to
catch, or test, this error. However, it got caught in
my notifier.py (using libgmail) sessions few days ago,
and notifier did not recover from it. I had to kill the
process and restart it. Needless to say, errors should
be handled gracefuly, and geting internal server error
should not impact further running of libgmail.

My suggestion is that, once this error is caught, it is
logged to syslog
(http://docs.python.org/lib/module-syslog.html).
