This is in reference to this ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17092
There is a patch there to fix the specific use case of needing to disable django's fix_location_header for certain responses in a CGI compliant environment. Because of the way that response_fixes work you can't just implement middleware to bypass them. So the patch in that ticket adds an attribute to the response object that allows that 'fix' to be bypassed when the handler processes the response. In that ticket aagustin brought up that this might be better fixed by removing response_fixes from the base handler and instead implementing them in common middleware making it easier to add/remove or customize on a project by project basis rather than adding attributes to the response object. Before going any further I wanted to see what the preferred approach would be. I see 4 options. 1) Remove the concept of response_fixes from base handlers entirely and re-implement what we currently have as middleware. This would break any customized handlers that may be relying on response_fixes as well as the current redirect behavior for projects that aren't using common middleware. 2) Leave response_fixes as a feature of handlers but move the fix_location_header functionality into middleware only breaking applications that aren't using common middleware. 3) Apply the patch as is, address any future problems with response_fixes as they come up. 4) Do nothing, projects that want the CGI compliant behavior can hack django. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
