IE 8 Crashing on failed login

[jslatts]

Philip,

I have been using our django-axes project with success on one of my projects, but recently ran into an issue where users on IE8 were receiving an error:

Exception Value: Data truncated for column 'http_accept' at row 1

I traced it back to an overly large http accept header coming from the XP IE8 clients. I wasn't sure what a reasonable value for the http_accept field was, so I boosted it to 1024. Seems to work great now.

Thanks for the great work!

@philipn this is a must have, we have been having this errors a lot until we figured out the browser causing the problem. Can we have this on a release?

Thanks

@camilonova you might want to raise this at https://github.com/codekoala/django-axes as it's the de facto official repository for django-axes.

It looks like @jslatts is the one who should send the request to @codekoala's django-axes (https://github.com/codekoala/django-axes) if possible. Of course it's been 2 years. If it's not possible to send a new pull request then I'll merge by hand.

@codekoala @philipn would be great if someone closes this project so we'll avoid confusions.

I think what's confusing is there is no "forked from codekoala/django-axes" on this repo

And this is the first result from a google search

Closing this PR. Correct one has been merged into https://github.com/django-security/django-axes.
