So I was playing with a small Django application the other night (a weblog, if you care) and found that I was unable to connect to the development server.

Firefox would tell me:

The connection was interrupted
The connection to 192.168.1.4:8000 was interrupted while the page was loading.

And the development server would report the following error:

AttributeError: WSGIRequestHandler instance has no attribute ‘path’

What was the problem? Heh, it was me being stupid.

It turns out I was accidentally typing https://192.168.1.4:8000 instead of http://192.168.1.4. I’m used to using SSL for connecting to my home server and I guess I did that by accident when connecting to the Django runserver.

So if you get that error, check to make sure you aren’t accidentally trying to use SSL.
