Form input button embedded in <a /> crashes Django server

Description

I am running Ubuntu Lucid and got the default Django project setup without any apps included, created from Eclipse/Pydev. This only happens with Firefox but I reckon the problem is on the Django side, managing the HTTP requests, even though Firefox seems to send a double GET with the following setup.

With the Pydev(1.6.2) debug server running in Eclipse, I constantly get this bug. With the server running from terminal, I get the bug only once at the beginning.

The bug happens after pushing the input button (<input type="button">) in the browser.

urls.py:
   def view(request):
      return HttpResponse('<html><body><a href="/"><input type="button"></a></body></html>')

   urlpatterns = patterns('',
      (r'^/?$', 'urls.view'),
   )

ERROR:

  1. Only that request is failing, the server is not "crashing". This issue is wontfixed already in #4444
  1. Don't do that.
