Django returning HTTP 301?

Question

I have a django view that returns HTTP 301 on a curl request:

grapefruit:~ pete$ curl -I http://someurl
HTTP/1.1 301 MOVED PERMANENTLY
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009         


        

Answer 1

In my case, commenting the SecurityMiddleware on the settings.py file did the trick. I have to say that this only happens when running the runserver command (aka. when testing). With Apache it doesn't falls into the redirect loop.

Answer 2

You are probably requesting the URL without a trailing slash, and have APPEND_SLASH set to True (the default) in settings.py, so Django is redirecting to the URL including a slash.

Answer 3

My problem was PREPEND_WWW, when using it in localhost it returns a 301 error, I just created a local settings file and set it PREPEND_WWW = False
