Description
I noticed that sometimes I get an "OverflowError: mktime argument out of range" error in django.views.static.serve, when a request is made with a strange date, say, request.META contents something like {'HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE': 'Mon, 28 May 3121 28:25:26 GMT'}.
Python docs say on this that the exceptions raised in mktime are either ValueError (if caught in Python layer) or OverflowError (if caught in C layer).
I suppose it could be fixed with replacing the third endmost line in django.views.static.was_modified_since from actual
except (AttributeError, ValueError):
to
except (AttributeError, ValueError, OverflowError):
Probably, there has been some reason not to catch OverflowErrors, then sorry.
