Previously, GET, POST, and FILES on an HttpRequest were created in
the __init__ method as dictionaries. This was not something you would
usually notice causing trouble in production as you'd only see a
WSGIRequest, but in testing using the test client, calling .getlist
on GET, POST, or FILES for a request with no get/post data resulted in
an AttributeError.
Changed GET and POST on an HttpRequest object to be mutable
QueryDicts (mutable because the Django tests, and probably many
third party tests, were expecting it).
This patch is two-fold; first it ensure that Django does close everything in
request.FILES at the end of the request and secondly the storage system should
no longer close any files during save, it's up to the caller to handle that --
or let Django close the files at the end of the request.
``HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri()`` now correctly handles paths starting with ``//``.
``WSGIRequest`` now doesn't remove all the leading slashes either,
because ``http://test/server`` and http://test//server`` aren't the same thing
(RFC2396).
Thanks to SmileyChris for the initial patch.
Fixed#20187 -- Allowed repeated iteration of HttpResponse.
All this became possible when support for old-style streaming responses was
finally removed.
Also added some tests for HttpRequest.__repr__.
Note that the added tests don't actually catch the accidental code
removal (see ticket) but they do cover a codepath that wasn't tested
before.
Thanks to Tom Christie for the report and the original patch.
`HttpRequest.scheme` is `https` if `settings.SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER` is
appropriately set and falls back to `HttpRequest._get_scheme()` (a hook
for subclasses to implement) otherwise.
`WSGIRequest._get_scheme()` makes use of the `wsgi.url_scheme` WSGI
environ variable to determine the request scheme.
`HttpRequest.is_secure()` simply checks if `HttpRequest.scheme` is
`https`.
This provides a way to check the current scheme in templates, for example.
It also allows us to deal with other schemes.
Thanks nslater for the suggestion.
Passed large maxlinelen to email.Header to prevent newlines from being
inserted into value returned by _convert_to_charset
Thanks mjl at laubach.at for the report.
The documentation promises that host validation is disabled when
DEBUG=True, that all hostnames are accepted. Domains not compliant with
RFC 1034/1035 were however being validated, this validation has now been
removed when DEBUG=True.
Additionally, when DEBUG=False a more detailed SuspiciousOperation
exception message is provided when host validation fails because the
hostname is not RFC 1034/1035 compliant.
