#9712: Format of HTTP headers in request.META not clear ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: masklinn | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: post-1.0 Component: Documentation | Version: 1.0 Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 1 | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ The [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request- response/#django.http.HttpRequest.META documentation for HttpRequest.META] clearly indicates that HTTP headers are stored in it, but it doesn't clearly spell the format: `Content-Length` becomes `CONTENT_LENGTH`, but `Accept-Encoding` becomes `HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING`.
It might be useful to specify that (apart from special cases), all HTTP headers get prefixed by `HTTP_` and all `"-"` characters are replaced by `"_"` characters (e.g. `X-Forwarded-For` becomes `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FROM`). A basic patch is provided, applies cleanly against branch 1.0.X @rev 9534 -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9712> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
