Bug Description
Pagetests that attempt to access files served by the Librarian result in a 404 "File Not Found" error. This is due to zope.testbrowser serving files by making method calls to the zope publisher, not really using HTTP to contact the server. As a result, attempts to access files that are served by external servers, such as the Librarian, fail.
One solution is to change the test environment to use a subclass of zope.testbrowser that would be able to correctly make external requests for librarian files and discard other external requests.

Thanks to flacoste for helping to determine the problem and explaining it clearly.

Another possibility, for the librarian case is the inprocess librarian jtv put together.
