Malcolm Tredinnick 3ee3d6b5f3 Fixed #5898 -- Changed a few response processing paths to make things harder to get wrong and easier to get right. Previous behaviour wasn't buggy, but it was harder to use than necessary.
We now have automatic HEAD processing always (previously required ConditionalGetMiddleware), middleware benefits from the Location header rewrite, so they can use relative URLs as well, and responses with response codes 1xx, 204 or 304 will always have their content removed, in accordance with the HTTP spec (so it's much harder to indavertently deliver invalid responses).

Based on a patch and diagnosis from regexbot@gmail.com.

README

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/.  If you're just getting started,
here's how we recommend you read the docs:

    * First, read docs/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.

    * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/tutorial01.txt,
      docs/tutorial02.txt, etc.).

    * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/modpython.txt
      for instructions on running Django under mod_python.

    * The rest of the documentation is of the reference-manual variety.
      Read it -- and the FAQ -- as you run into problems.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
here:

http://code.djangoproject.com/newticket
