error: (32, 'Broken pipe')

[Emanuele]

Hi,
sometimes in my logs ("django-admin.py runserver ..." logs, to be
precise) I got the following error message without any apparent reason.
It doesn't give any real problem to users but I'm not able to
understand what causes it.

Do you have hints?

Thanks in advance,

I'm just guessing, but I bet it's caused by users navigating away from
a page before you finish sending it; the client closed the socket, so
the pipe is broken.

If I'm right, you should be able to repro it on a slow-responding page.

Yes! It's absolutely correct and I'm able to reproduce it as you
guessed. If I click on a page while it's sent from server I got exactly
that error message.

Thank you for the answer.
