Problem with django development server

[PawelRoman]

I've noticed that django development server drops connection when submitting a long value in hidden field (didn't check for other input fields).

For example, clicking submit button in the form below (using internet explorer 6) will cause connection to drop and the browser will display standard error message "Cannot find server blah blah" (as if someone pulled the network cable). To get the same effect in firefox 3.5 you only need to extend this string a few times.

I can replicate it 100% on IE6 and Firefox 3.5.8 and if I had other browsers I suspect it would be the same. I know that this dev http server is a low priority stuff for django developers but it would be very nice to make it work correctly. I currently deal with large value in hidden field that must be submitted to the server and I cannot work wth the dev server on that :(

Later I've noticed, I was getting this kind of errors:

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 4101)
 File "C:\Python25\lib\SocketServer.py", line 241, in process_request
   self.finish_request(request, client_address)
 File "C:\Python25\lib\SocketServer.py", line 254, in finish_request
   self.RequestHandlerClass(request, client_address, self)
 File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\core\servers\basehttp.py", line 560, in __init__
   BaseHTTPRequestHandler.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
 File "C:\Python25\lib\SocketServer.py", line 522, in __init__
   self.handle()
 File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\core\servers\basehttp.py", line 600, in handle
   self.raw_requestline = self.rfile.readline()
 File "C:\Python25\lib\socket.py", line 381, in readline
   data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)
error: (10054, 'Connection reset by peer')

This is the sample form that fails to get reply from the dev server (in IE6, after extending the string few times it also breaks under FF):

<div>
	<form id="myform" method="post" action=".">
		<div>
			<input type="hidden" value="test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string test value which is a very long string " name="hiddenstuff" />
			<input type="submit" value="Submit!" />
		</div>
	</form>
</div>
