Hi,
I'm getting a random, wierd UnicodeDecodeError when calling
request.get_full_path() in one of my views. This specific view displays some
search reaults, and the error always occurs when a user selects the second
results page (results are paginated).
The query string is UTF-8 encoded, and is of the form (for the second page)
'p=2&q=\xd7\xa2\xd7\xa7\xd7\x9c'. This query string, for example, is a valid
Hebrew utf-8 word.
The error occurs only on a production server, I never saw it in a local
runserver. The production server is run through mod_wsgi daemon. The exact
error is:
File "/home/arsys/lib/python2.5/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 105, in
get_full_path return '%s%s' % (self.path,
self.environ.get('QUERY_STRING', '') and ('?' + self.environ.get('QUE
RY_STRING', '')) or '')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd7 in position 7:
ordinal not in range(128)
What's wierd here, is that django is trying to decode the string assuming it is
ascii, where it should use utf-8 which is the default. Also, as I said, this
occurs quiet rarely, and most of the time, with the very same query string, it
works fine.
This site is in beta stage, and I don't have too many visitors. I noticed that
it happens probably with the same client, with a browser identified as:
'HTTP_USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)'
Other that that, I'm completely in the dark. Could it be that a browser causes
the server to use a different (than its default) encoding? Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Amit
P.s. Also, as for the code in wsgi.py, shouldn't the format string above be
preceded by 'u'? I.e., shouldn't it read u'%s%s'?
