Description

When executing a test using self.client the view's request has 'testserver' as the SERVER_NAME and '80' as the SERVER_PORT regardless of the actual address used by the live server.

The test client is not meant to query the live server. To interact with the live server, use Selenium.

Sorry for not being descriptive enough, let me try again.

My app's view is accessing the RESTfull API of my project and is using the request object to find out the local address (I know it's not the right way to do thing, and I'm only doing it because we have two projects that interact and it's still not clear where the app will be). Writing the tests we've discovered that even though we're using the LiveServerTestCase, the view gets the wrong address in the request object.

Hi,

this is actually a feature, to have reproducible tests wherever you run them: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/test/client.py#L236
