Opinion on static files and approaching hardcoding in a Django-like manner
Sorry if this might have been addressed before in a similar manner, but I was curious as to what some others' thoughts were or what their practices might be in this situation. I have some bookmarklets and other javascript files in a /static/ directory. This are then linked in a view so that a user could drag and drop into their toolbar. Now, in other scenarios where I might be generating links, I simply pipe in the domain (if needed) via Sites. However, in a static JS file I obviously do not use a templating setup and thus cannot pipe in a domain. For now, in testing and personal use, I've just hardcoded in my domain for these types of scenarios. However, what are some options for doing this when I am pushing this code out for others to use. [Example: bookmarklet use for a Django URL shortener - https://github.com/mutaku/Stumpy ] Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions. I had some ideas in mind, but thought it might be interesting to see what other people were doing for these types of situations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: django and fastcgi losing some info in request data
sorry... was doing some more digging. Seems the problem is exclusive to // scenarios. doing somethign like this: http://mydomain/url/http%3A%21%21wikipedia.com/ gives me the proper : http:!!wikipedia.com etc etc so any clue why it would be exclusively stripping out one / from // ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: django and fastcgi losing some info in request data
I could just manually check and add it before working with the model
like:
stump_split = list(this_stump.partition(":"))
if stump_split[1] and not stump_split[2].startswith("//"):
stump_split[2] = "/"+stump_split[2]
this_stump = ''.join(stump_split)
but that's kinda meh and still doesn't get to why it's happening.

django and fastcgi losing some info in request data
Hi all-
I have a problem that is driving me to the brink of insanity.
I'll preface this with the fact that running the built-in server
everything works fine. I encounter this issue running it via fastcgi
and lighttpd.
I will paste in all relevant info at the bottom.
In short, the workflow scheme is like this:
-take a url and encode it say like this: http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com/
-send it to django via url/http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com/
-urls.py reads in that and sends anything after url/ to a view
-this view handles the url and does some things with it for the
database model
running with the built-in server i can return and httpresponse with my
request data and get the proper:
http://google.com
but running with fastcgi i get:
http:/google.com
this breaks lots of code for me.
I can't figure out what is going on that it's getting stripped of one
of the / (or %2F).
Here is all the relevant information I could think of.
=
=> the attempted url:
http://__myDOMAIN/url/http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com/
=
=> expect (and receive when running built-in)
http://google.com
=
=> get when running via fastcgi
http:/google.com
=
=> urls.py part:
url(r'^url/(?P\S+)/$', 'shortener.views.submit'),
=
=> lighttpd accesslog info:
"GET /url/http%3A%2F%2F%2Fgoogle.com/ HTTP/1.1" 200 120 "-"
=
=> view part:
def submit(request,stump):
stump_clean = bleach.clean(stump)
this_stump = smart_str(stump_clean)
return HttpResponse("%s %s %s " % (stump,stump_clean,this_stump))
=
=> view httpresponse:
http:/google.com http:/google.com http:/google.com
=
=> lighty stanza:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "__myDOMAIN__" {
server.document-root = "/home/blahblah/Stumpy/"
fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
( "localhost" => (
"socket" => "/var/lib/lighttpd/stumpy-fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/home/blahblah/Stumpy/
stumpy.fcgi",
"check-local" => "disable",
"min-procs" => 2,
"max-procs" => 4,
)
),
)
alias.url = ( "/static/admin" => "/home/blahblah/django/contrib/
admin/media/" )
url.rewrite-once = ( "^(/static/.*)$" => "$1",
"^/favicon\.ico$" => "/static/favicon.ico",
"^(/.*)$" => "/stumpy.fcgi$1" )
}
=
=> fcgi script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, "..")
os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = "/tmp/"
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "settings"
from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi
runfastcgi(["method=threaded", "daemonize=false"])
Again, I don't have any problems if i run via "python manage.py
runserver" and use the built-in.
I only have this stripping problem via the fastcgi method.
Any help would be miraculous. I've been yanking hair out over this for
a while!
Thanks so much in advance for any input!

Another save.
Thanks again.
I should probably give it a rest for tonight at this rate.
I moved admin above and that now works as you suggested.
I will keep it like this for now and then work on creating a better
regex (even though admin will never be used in this context).
As for the error return. That is next on my list. This is all just
coming together now and so errors are not being caught gracefully yet,
but rather spitting back a 500 error so I can see what's what. I'll
have this spit back a 404 next.
Thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated!

unicode and database oddity --updated
Hi, sorry for the long message to follow, but I have an odd issue
with
inserting a value into my database (MySQL).
In short, I am grabbing in a url as a variable fed in via urls.py and
am getting that value as a unicode.
Even if I convert this with smart_str and it's type is then string, I
still raise a unicode error when trying to input this into my
database.
I have attached some error output from the 500 error being raised, as
well as some code from a shell session that I think more clearly
shows
my issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

admin interface and urls.py regex issue
I'm running into some perplexing regex issues in urls.py and getting
to my admin section.
It worked before but now that I have another view added in, anything
beyond the index regex is getting fed into the "url/" section rather
than admin:
I've included my urls.py section and the 500 error.
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'Stumpy.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^Stumpy/', include('Stumpy.foo.urls')),
# show the index from /
url(r'^$', 'shortener.views.index'),
# get a url for redirection /shorty
url(r'^(?P\w+)/$', 'shortener.views.detail'),
# send a url to be shortened from /url/someencodedurl
url(r'^url/(?P\S+)/$', 'shortener.views.submit'),
# Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin
documentation:
url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
judging by the 500 error it seems to be sending it to the submit view
