Description (last modified by Alex Gaynor)

I noticed that sometimes I get an "OverflowError: mktime argument out of range" error in django.views.static.serve, when a request is made with a strange date, say, request.META contents something like {'HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE': 'Mon, 28 May 3121 28:25:26 GMT'}.

Python docs say on this that the exceptions raised in mktime are either ValueError (if caught in Python layer) or OverflowError (if caught in C layer).

I suppose it could be fixed with replacing the third endmost line in django.views.static.was_modified_since from actual

    except (AttributeError, ValueError):

to

    except (AttributeError, ValueError, OverflowError):

Probably, there has been some reason not to catch OverflowErrors, then sorry.

I can't reproduce the problem you describe -- using Python 2.6, the date "Mon 28 May 3121 28:25:26" actually parses correctly as "Tue, 29 May 3121 04:25:26"; using Python 2.5, it raises a ValueError. (Both of these tests were running under Mac OSX).

Closing worksforme; If you can provide more specific reproduction instructions, please reopen.

I can reproduce it, and I've just seen it on live. Here is the relevant part of the stack trace.

BTW, this is on Ubuntu 10.04 with Python 2.6.5

Can you reproduce the error condition at will?. If so, could you paste the text version of the stack trace?. There is a button for that in the exception page generated by Django when running with DEBUG=True.

Here is the text version:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Oops, thought you just wanted the stack trace in text. These are from a live site so these are from djangodberrorlog. I'll try to replicate myself.

comment:8 by Adam Nelson, 14 years ago

I've updated the gist with the reproducible version. The easiest way to replicate this is to use http://modifyheaders.mozdev.org/ and modify:

If-Modified-Since to Mon, 29 Jul 3121 29:24:25 GMT
