SSL POST hangs if view function does not use POST object

[Ben Smith]

Here's how to reproduce:

1. Setup a simple view function.

def myview(request):

return render_to_response('mytemplate.html')

2. Write a simple form containing one named value that POSTs to the view:

<form method="POST" action="​https://www.mysite.com/myview">

<input type="hidden" name="param" value="value"/>
<input type="submit"/>

</form>

3. Submit the form

The browser will send the POST but no data will be returned. ssl_access.log and ssl_error.log will not have any record of the POST.

You can also do the submit with curl like this:

curl -v -d test=value ​https://www.mysite.com/myview

curl will just hang after telling you that it's submitted the request.

I'm wondering if this is a Django or a web server problem.

I don't see that problem using apache 2 with mod_fcgi on rhel4.

Closing due to a lack of feedback and a counter example saying the problem doesn't exist.
