Increase uwsgi_buffer_size to run django-openid-auth on dotCloud

To enable Django [OpenID][1] authentication, I choose [django-openid-auth][2]. But when I deploy to dotcloud, there’s a ‘404’ as welcome message :p

My guess is the [google openid server][3] requests back long-length headers, which exceeds the default uwsgi buffer size (4096).There is a [related issue][4] about it. Although I didn’t find any “block size” in logs, but it seems worth a try. So I follow the documentation, modify my dotcloud.yml as:

www:
  type: python
  config:
    uwsgi_buffer_size: 8192

and destroy the running server and deploy a new one (just as the document told me). Now the django service runs with [OpenID][1] authentication. 🙂

Bonus: to enable openid-auth for Django, add the following lines to:
urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ...
    url(r'^openid/', include('django_openid_auth.urls')),
)

settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (

    # ...

    'django_openid_auth',

    #

)




  AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (

      'django_openid_auth.auth.OpenIDBackend',

      'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',

  )




  # OpenID

  OPENID_CREATE_USERS = True

  OPENID_UPDATE_DETAILS_FROM_SREG = True

  LOGIN_URL = '/openid/login/'

  LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'

  OPENID_SSO_SERVER_URL = 'https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id'
