Rather than try and fiddle with Django middleware, what you can do is use a WSGI middleware that wraps Django and which detects when it is a chunked request and reads input a block at a time and saves it to a file. It can then modify the WSGI environment passed to Django such that wsgi.input is replaced with reference to open file object onto the temporary file you just save to disk containing

The thing is that by now, no data at all arrived through the pipe into django. One had to proxy requests to django with a php script (which is really funny in fact) (or add the the right apache modules...)

I'm not into django middlewares, but one may change the request before it hit the django part which hates non-compliant-wsgi requests.

@abki: Do be aware though that frameworks like Django will not be able to make use of this, as they adhere to WSGI specification of only reading what CONTENT_LENGTH says is available. For chunked request content there is no content length and so they would believe that request content was empty.

Note that WSGI specification doesn't support chunked request content, so by using this ability you are stepping outside of WSGI and your application will not likely be portable to other WSGI hosting mechanisms.

HttpRequest with chunked encoding supported by mod_wsgi if possible (I don't know if this task falls into this application or mod_python)...

But this will help people a lot to use Python as a server side scripting langage for mobile devices.

If you are not aware of the issue maybe this will help http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/dda2008ccbc8cd65/
