Unless I'm reading the RFC incorrectly, that's an invalid HTTP request.
I don't know that Django needs to support invalid HTTP.
For the interested, I'll show my work. The syntax of the beginning of an
HTTP request [1] is::
Request-Line = Method SP Request-URI SP HTTP-Version CRLF
Request-URI = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path | authority
Only the `abs_path` part is important here [2]; RFC 2396 [3] defines
abs_path as::
abs_path = "/" path_segments

[2] "*" is only supported by `OPTIONS`; absoluteURL and authority by
proxies.
