My comment was stated inaccurately. The method attribute was set to "GET" on the form element. It only worked when I set it to "get". I learned XHTML (strict), which requires elements and attributes to be lowercase (which, for some reason, I violated when I set the attribute to "GET"). I forgot that that requirement was lifted with HTML5.
Your reference is interesting because it seems to imply that the method attribute has to be uppercase. Maybe the browser translates it to uppercase before sending it to the server? But then that doesn't explain why I got two different results based on the case of the method attribute. -----Original Message----- From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Melvyn Sopacua Sent: Wednesday, May 9, 2018 6:21 PM To: django-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Case inconsistency On woensdag 9 mei 2018 23:00:06 CEST Matthew Pava wrote: > I came across an interesting issue recently.

HTML is not your reference (and case insensitive to boot). HTML does not make requests, it just specifies how responses are rendered.
