Description

If someone erroneously pastes the URL from the location bar (i.e. the SoundSoftware project page URL) into EasyMercurial and tries to clone it, they get a very incomprehensible 406 Not Acceptable error.

Is it possible to make a route check for the Mercurial client attempting to download a page intended for humans, and reject it with some more useful response?
