I'm just starting to learn Django, building a project on my computer, running Windows 7 64-bit, Python 2.7, Django 1.3.
Basically whatever I write, it loads in Chrome and Firefox instantly. But for IE (version 9), it just stalls there, and does nothing. I can load up "http://127.0.0.1:8000" on IE and leave the computer on for hours and it doesn't load. Sometimes, when I refresh a couple of times or restart IE it'll work. If I change something in the code, again, Chrome and Firefox reflects changes instantly, whereas IE doesn't - if it loads the page at all.
What is going on? I'm losing my mind here....
It might be related to this issue: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16099
Essentially, the dev server isn't multithreaded, and if the browser opens a connection and then tries a second connection to actually get the data, it can hang forever.
Edit:
Also, see this issue: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15178
If you can provide a way to reproduce the issue, we may be able to find a fix.
Also, if you could try the latest development version and see if that fixes it, we recently committed a new patch that adds multithreading capability to the runserver command.
