22996	UnicodeDecodeError on accessing `request.GET`	jorgecarleitao	nobody	"I'm getting a non-deterministic error while running Django 1.6.5 in production, when I try to access `request.GET`:

{{{

from a request of the form:

{{{
    'HTTP_FORWARDED_REQUEST_URI': '/categoria/8696/contratados?página=3'
}}}

I'm using one middleware, `'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware'` and `página` is a translation.

This error occurs ~1 every 200 pageviews (estimated), and it seems to occur only on requests with gets of the form `?página=...`.

I will gladly help on this, although I'm not familiar with HTTP handling, thus I would need some guidance on what could be and where I should start looking."	Bug	closed	HTTP handling	1.6	Normal	fixed		jorgecarleitao	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
