#35673: When URL has 1000+ query parameters, and DEBUG=True, Django does not
generate the error page correctly

-------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
When the number of query parameters in URL exceeds
settings.DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_NUMBER_FIELDS, Django takes more than a second to
generate the error page and eventually returns HTTP 500 with a blank page.
The "manage.py runserver" output shows a long chain of exceptions,
delimited with "The above exception was the direct cause of the following
exception:" line.
To reproduce: start a new Django project, and place the following in
urls.py:
{{{
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.urls import path
def index(request):
request.GET.getlist("a")
url = "/?" + "&".join([f"a={i}" for i in range(0, 1001)])
return HttpResponse(f"""<a href="{url}">Click me</a>""",
content_type="text/html")
urlpatterns = [
path("", index),
]
}}}
The problem is only triggered if
* DEBUG=True (otherwise, Django generates a HTTP 400 response with no
delay)
* If the view accesses request.GET
