Comment (by epandurski@…):
"I totally understand that Apache usually is not expected to the deep-
request-inspection but at the least the application server should be able
to do that."
The application server may serve lots of web applications, each one
needing a different validation policy. Only the web application knows what
it does with the input data, and therefore only the application (or the
application framework) is in a position to correctly validate the input.
I agree that it is good idea to do input validation as early as possible,
and be as isolated as possible from the rest. I do not see, however, where
else this functionality can be inserted in the Django framework. I do not
think it can be implemented as Django middleware. Suggestions?
