Hi!
We had the same problem with a Django instance running inside mod_python
(yes, I know mod_python is bad, it's a client's server). I think it
happens with a custom iPhone client. Here's the traceback:
{{{
Traceback:
File "/var/sites/bcl/PYTHON_ENV/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response
111. response = callback(request,
*callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
File "/var/sites/bcl/main/api.py" in inner
17. token = request.GET.get("authtoken",
request.POST.get("authtoken"))
File "/var/sites/bcl/PYTHON_ENV/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/django/core/handlers/modpython.py" in _get_post
101. self._load_post_and_files()
File "/var/sites/bcl/PYTHON_ENV/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/django/http/__init__.py" in _load_post_and_files
270. if self.META.get('CONTENT_TYPE',
'').startswith('multipart'):
Exception Type: AttributeError at /api/events/log/
Exception Value: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'
}}}
If you want to test it, you could try telnetting a POST response,
something like "telnet localhost 8000", then copy-paste
{{{
POST / HTTP/1.0
Content-length: 17
query=1234
}}}
