Question

I am getting this weird error in my development server when running my django project:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sam/django-projects/datazone/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 284, in run
    self.finish_response()
  File "/home/sam/django-projects/datazone/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 324, in finish_response
    self.write(data)
  File "/home/sam/django-projects/datazone/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 403, in write
    self.send_headers()

  File "/home/sam/django-projects/datazone/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 385, in send_preamble
    'Date: %s\r\n' % http_date()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 324, in write
    self.flush()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 303, in flush
    self._sock.sendall(view[write_offset:write_offset+buffer_size])
error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

Answer 1

This happens when the client closes the connection before the server finished sending the data. If it only happens sometimes and is not a persistent problem ignore it.
