Re: MultiPartParserError HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH zero when uploading a file

Now that someone else mentioned, yes, I believe we have the same
problem.

I run Django thru FastCGI to a Cherokee Web Server, and occasionally,
uploads fail to continue (the traceback shows that the code hanged at
consuming the input stream, then the connection got reset by the
client's browser, raising EOFError).

At first, I filled a bug against Cherokee, but it didn't turned out
that we were able to narrow the issue. Now I know it's not related to
the web server, as you run Lighttpd.

The only things I can think of are, a bug on FastCGI (Flup), Django,
or a bug only triggered when you run Django thru FastCGI.

I've also ran my Django install with SCGI, and with different options
(fork / threaded), but the intermittent error persists. SCGI still
uses Flup though.

This bug proved to be really, really hard to reproduce or track down.
I only get it because I run a SaaS with dozens users uploading photos
every day, and some requests happen to fail starting the upload and
end 500'ing.

What about filling a ticket against Django?
