title: django - accessing the development server over HTTPS, but it only supports HTTP
body: <p>I am using python 3.5 &amp; django 1.10 on windows 7 os.</p>
  
  <p>I re-started my laptop today and when I attempt to access my python-django app on my local development server, I now receive the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
  Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
  [11/Oct/2016 17:16:17] code 400, message Bad request version ('À\x13À')
  [11/Oct/2016 17:16:17] You're accessing the development server over HTTPS, but i
  t only supports HTTP.

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I haven't made any recent changes to the settings.py file, so I am assuming that the settings are not the culprit here, but here are some relevant settings it case it helps solve the issue:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = False
  SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
  ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have searched SO and found this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7929460/django-400-bad-request-syntax-what-does-this-message-mean">post</a> on the subject. The answer suggests that I <code>Switch back to http and that error will disappear</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Does this mean that I should change or enter the url in the browser from <code>https://127.0.0.1:8000/</code> to <code>http://127.0.0.1:8000/</code>? I am asking this because when I try to do that, the url in the browser automatically reverts to <code>https://127.0.0.1:8000/</code>. I cannot seem to over-ride the <code>https</code> with <code>http</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36399206/django-unenforce-https-connection-on-development-server">post</a>. I have cleared my browser cache, but the issue continues. </p>
  
  <p>I have run out of ideas.</p>
  
  <p><strong>I would be grateful for any suggestions.</strong></p>
