Debug 500 Page Shows POST, GET, and COOKIES but not FILES

[Alex Gaynor]

It would be nice if it showed them.

Now it shows them just like POST, etc..

The patch prints out full file contents in the debug page. This will be unpleasant with big files.

I suggest limiting the amount of printed file data to the first 200 bytes or so, and to replace binary characters with hexadecimal values.

Files are huge amounts of data. A patch to show the number of uploaded files would be reasonable, but we shouldn't be showing their contents (even the first 200 bytes is really pretty useless most of the time). It's just too much opaque information. If somebody wants more information, they can do their own 500 handling without a lot of trouble (or put debugging prints into their code based on the exception traceback).

[Alex Gaynor]

To my understanding the unicode method on the file objects should be printing out the filename, which is acceptable to print out.

Small note: I have tested this post-2070, so it does indeed print out the file names.

Here's what it prints: ​http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/core/files/uploadedfile.py#L57
