Description
There is a nice on-DEBUG RuntimeError warning in the CommonMiddleware saying that Django can't maintain POST data and redirect for APPENT_SLASH at the same time.
There is also another redirect nearby that can be enabled by PREPEND_WWW. I think having similar POST warning would be handy for developers.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
As pointed out in #5718,
PREPEND_WWWisn't generally useful in development: it redirects you towww.localhost:8000orwww.127.0.0.1:8000.You could edit your hosts file to point
www.yoursite.comto 127.0.0.1, but then you can no longer access the "real" website, and I don't think many people do that.Technically, adding the warning is trivial; could you just clarify the use case?
