Pecan has a 'feature' which guess content-type from the url 'extension'. this causes issues in py26 and may cause issues in other version. the following error occurs in when getting http.request samples
==================================================================
GET http://localhost:8777/v2/meters/http.request HTTP/1.1

{
"error_message": "404 Not Found\n\nThe resource could not be found.\n\n "
}
==================================================================
in Pecan, when it tries to route the url path, there is logic which tries to figure out the content type based on the 'extension' of the url (it assumes '.request' is the extension). specifically at one point, it will attempt to guess the content_type based on this 'extension': https://github.com/stackforge/pecan/blob/master/pecan/core.py#L413 . in python2.7, it will not successfully guess what extension '.request'. however, in python2.6, it will guess a match -- it will guess content-type is application/vnd.nervana -- and it strips out '.request' from the path and it all goes downhill from there.
