Request detail page never loads

[unformatt]

Having this problem with both silk 0.7.2 and 1.0.0.

I've run silk_clear_request_log and I have one request logged in silk.

Request detail pages (e.g. http://localhost:8000/silk/request/b141a25e-3944-471a-8787-06fb316913f4/) don't load, they just hang and peg my CPU while the console slowly logs messages related to RefactoringTool:

I thought my use of SQL Server could be the problem. I changed to MySQL and have the same issue.

Could this be due to a large request body?

[unformatt]

Seems like the rendering of the Curl and Django Test Client with syntax highlighting on a large request body might be what's hanging it up (Request is only 93k). I'll ignore request bodies for now. Silk would probably benefit from not defaulting to SILKY_MAX_REQUEST_BODY_SIZE = -1 since it effectively can't handle request bodies over a certain size. Or if request body is over a certain size, disable syntax highlighting.

@unformatt big thanks for this answer. It has helped me a lot.
