There are many questions about this on django-users. The usual answer is to ignore the errors, which are probably generated as a result of the client prematurely terminating a connection, usually during an upload.
Nobody seems to be able to reliably reproduce the error, and it seems to happen with large and small uploads alike, but always intermittently. It has been suggested that a client dropping the connection should be within what one can expect from a networked client, and thus Django should not email the exception and traceback to the admins in this case. From my preliminary investigation with this issue, I tend to agree. Is it feasible to handle this exception in Django, or are there other issues that would prevent us from isolating this case from other legitimate exceptions that may be raised at this point? Here's a recent traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/tailee/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 105, in get_response response = middleware_method(request, callback, callback_args, callback_kwargs) File "/home/tailee/django/middleware/csrf.py", line 224, in process_view request_csrf_token = request.POST.get('csrfmiddlewaretoken', '') File "/home/tailee/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 209, in _get_post self._load_post_and_files() File "/home/tailee/django/http/__init__.py", line 207, in _load_post_and_files self._post, self._files = self.parse_file_upload(self.META, self) File "/home/tailee/django/http/__init__.py", line 169, in parse_file_upload return parser.parse() File "/home/tailee/django/http/multipartparser.py", line 192, in parse for chunk in field_stream: File "/home/tailee/django/http/multipartparser.py", line 314, in next output = self._producer.next() File "/home/tailee/django/http/multipartparser.py", line 468, in next for bytes in stream: File "/home/tailee/django/http/multipartparser.py", line 314, in next output = self._producer.next() File "/home/tailee/django/http/multipartparser.py", line 375, in next data = self.flo.read(self.chunk_size) File "/home/tailee/django/http/multipartparser.py", line 405, in read return self._file.read(num_bytes) File "/home/tailee/django/http/__init__.py", line 231, in read return self._stream.read(*args, **kwargs) IOError: request data read error -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
