Fix Python 3 issues in REST code. * Need to use .get not .getheader for HTTP headers (see hg commit fec18298ae02, "Python 3 preparation: HTTP headers handling in roundup_server.py."). * Need to use key not cmp with sort (see hg commit 3fa026621f69, "Python 3 preparation: comparisons."). * dispatch output must be bytes, not str, otherwise writing it to the socket (e.g. in roundup-server) will fail. This fixes issues shown up attempting to access the REST interface with a browser with Python 3 (as opposed to with the Roundup testsuite, which also has known REST issues with Python 3).

def eml_to_mht(db, cl, nodeid, newvalues):
    '''This auditor fires whenever a new file entity is created.

    If the file is of type message/rfc822, we tack onthe extension .eml.

    The reason for this is that Microsoft Internet Explorer will not open
    things with a .eml attachment, as they deem it 'unsafe'. Worse yet,
    they'll just give you an incomprehensible error message. For more 
    information, please see:

    Their suggested work around is (excerpt):

     WORKAROUND

     To work around this behavior, rename the .EML file that the URL
     links to so that it has a .MHT file name extension, and then update
     the URL to reflect the change to the file name. To do this:

     1. In Windows Explorer, locate and then select the .EML file that
        the URL links.
     2. Right-click the .EML file, and then click Rename.
     3. Change the file name so that the .EML file uses a .MHT file name
        extension, and then press ENTER.
     4. Updated the URL that links to the file to reflect the new file
        name extension.

    So... we do that. :)'''
