18336	Static files randomly fail to load in Google Chrome	anonymous	nobody	"I've noticed while using Google Chrome that frequently (once every 2 or 3 refresh) some of my static files fail to load, it can be anything: an image, a .js file, etc. Opening that file directly always work, reloading the page usually work as well. I couldn't reproduce this behavior with Firefox.

This is happening with the default options for the runserver of django.contrib.staticfiles.

I figured this probably had to do with either a timeout or the size of the request queue, possibly both. I tried setting request_queue_size to 10 (default is 5) as demonstrated in the attached file and it completely solve the issue. I the tried setting it to 1 and it makes the issue systematic.

I tried to find how many concurrent requests chrome does and found the following:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12066
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=44491

Unless I'm missing something, Chrome actually use less concurrent requests than Firefox. A value of 10 for request_queue_size does seem to solve my problem completely, but I wouldn't know what should be the actual best value."
