occasionnal 404s returned and request.get_full_path() returns /full/server/path/to/django.fcgi/request instead of /request

[loncletom]

hi,

i'm running a site using django 1.0.2. the site works fine but every once in a while i notice something weird in the logs.
the request in the apache log looks fine but in my own logs which use request.get_full_path() the request is messed up with the django.fcgi path.
a 404 is sent in response.

here's two requests: the first two lines are apache logs, the last two are my own logs using get_full_path().
the first request works fine (notice the 200 response and the short get_full_path()=="/categorie/Adultes/").
in the next request, get_full_path() is messed up. instead of returning "/eloge-du-sein-des-femmes-1873/", i get a ".../django.fcgi/eloge-du-sein-des-femmes-1873/"

here's another case:

i've tried setting FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME = '' but it didn't help.

unfortunately, it seems to happen totally randomly but a few times every day on a small website.
i wouldn't have noticed without making my own logs using get_full_path().
