Django HTTP处理流程（自我总结）
Django中由wsgi模块接管http请求，核心处理方法为get_wsgi_application，其定义如下：
def get_wsgi_application():
"""
The public interface to Django's WSGI support. Should return a WSGI
callable.
Allows us to avoid making django.core.handlers.WSGIHandler public API, in
case the internal WSGI implementation changes or moves in the future.
"""
django.setup()
return WSGIHandler()
WSGIHandler(代码有节减)：
class WSGIHandler(base.BaseHandler):
initLock = Lock()
request_class = WSGIRequest
def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
# Set up middleware if needed. We couldn't do this earlier, because
# settings weren't available.
if self._request_middleware is None:
with self.initLock:
try:
# Check that middleware is still uninitialized.
if self._request_middleware is None:
self.load_middleware()
except:
# Unload whatever middleware we got
self._request_middleware = None
raise
set_script_prefix(get_script_name(environ))
signals.request_started.send(sender=self.__class__, environ=environ)
try:
request = self.request_class(environ)
except UnicodeDecodeError:
logger.warning('Bad Request (UnicodeDecodeError)',
exc_info=sys.exc_info(),
extra={
'status_code': 400,
}
)
response = http.HttpResponseBadRequest()
else:
response = self.get_response(request)
response._handler_class = self.__class__
status = '%s %s' % (response.status_code, response.reason_phrase)
response_headers = [(str(k), str(v)) for k, v in response.items()]
for c in response.cookies.values():
response_headers.append((str('Set-Cookie'), str(c.output(header=''))))
start_response(force_str(status), response_headers)
if getattr(response, 'file_to_stream', None) is not None and environ.get('wsgi.file_wrapper'):
response = environ['wsgi.file_wrapper'](response.file_to_stream)
return response
从代码中可以看到，当WSGIHandler对象被调用的时候，首先会判断请求中间件是否为None，如果为None，则通过self.load_middleware()加载中间件。之后调用self.get_response(request)获得http响应对象。BaseHandler的load_middleware、get_response方法定义如下：
BaseHandler(代码有节减)：
class BaseHandler(object):
# Changes that are always applied to a response (in this order).
response_fixes = [
http.conditional_content_removal,
]
def __init__(self):
self._request_middleware = None
self._view_middleware = None
self._template_response_middleware = None
self._response_middleware = None
self._exception_middleware = None
def load_middleware(self):
"""
Populate middleware lists from settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.
Must be called after the environment is fixed (see __call__ in subclasses).
"""
self._view_middleware = []
self._template_response_middleware = []
self._response_middleware = []
self._exception_middleware = []
request_middleware = []

mw_class = import_string(middleware_path)

get_response方法中，循环遍历执行已经加载的request middleware，调用middleware将返回None 或者HttpResponse对象，如果返回前者，继续处理其它中间件，如果返回一个 HttpResponse，就处理中止。接着，应用view middleware，通过 url resolve匹配路由获取view functions(如果使用的通用视图，通过调用as_view方法，此方法为闭包，返回一个view方法)。如果middleware支持渲染(render)，则应用template response中间件，然后通过调用HttpResponse对象的render方法渲染模板响应输出。
