chunked encoding bug with latest version of django.

[benoitc]

Following the discussing on #605 :
#605 (comment)

Django doesn't handle anymore chunked encoded requests. Not sure how to fix it yet.

cc @jezdez maybe you know if there have been some discussions about it?

[benoitc]

ok I'm not sure what to do with this solution, maybe we should just force the usage of content-length for frameworks that don't handle HTTP 1.1 ? cc @tilgovi @berkerpeksag

If I remember correctly, Django handles HTTP 1.1. The lines you mentioned in #605 (comment) haven't changed since 5 years and the OP's Django version is a little bit old. I haven't read the whole discussion in #605 and tried the test project yet so I might be missing something here. Perhaps @timgraham or @claudep can chime in.

I don't remember anything about Django supporting chunked transfer encoding at the request side. It might well be a missing feature in Django.

I don't know much about the specifics, but a quick search indicates "This is a not a Django issue. It is a limitation of the WSGI specification itself in as much as the WSGI specification prohibits use of chunked request content by requiring a CONTENT_LENGTH value for request." -Graham Dumpleton

i know what the spec says. But some frameworks allow to bypass this rule.
It also used to work with oldest versions of django. and for sure it won't
be removed fr gunicorn.

Anyway like i says we have limited options since i've never been answered
on that topic.so i propose to introduce a --strict option that would
default to true for django. strict would meanbin this case to return a 411
error. thoughts?
