Django and Invalid HTTP_HOST headers with nginx

2014-02-10

Django has had a setting for allowed hostnames for a while [1], but starting with the 1.5 release it was required [2] to set it. I'm not sure why I only started getting Invalid HTTP_HOST header emails after my upgrade to 1.6, but anyway, they started pouring in. It's a … more

I was working on a typo3 site again that uses formhandler. Formhandler advertises it's strength as being usable for building rock solid, state of the art forms in TYPO3 the easy way. I'll give the extension that you can build complex forms with it. I wouldn't exactly call it easy … more

List salt minions in template

2013-06-06

Update: I revisited this topic recently and since there's the Salt Mine this can be done in better ways, check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17158665/ for different approaches. This seems to be a common task with saltstack but I couldn't find a really good answer yet: How does one minion get a targeted list … more

Video and image sitemaps in Django

2013-05-24

I recently added a sitemap to a site with many images and videos. Having the media files in the sitemap helps search engines to index them. I hadn't done this with Django before, so here are some notes. If you're not familiar with sitemaps in Django check out the official … more
