Question

def process_event(request, eventID, eventData):
    return HttpResponse("process event!")

@csrf_exempt 
@slip_protect
def catch_event(request,eventID):       
    if request.POST:               
        process_event(request,eventID, request.POST['eventData'])
        return HttpResponse("safe return!")

That code returns “Safe Return!” on client side, and not “process event!”. Is that by design and expected behavior? I want to delegate to a function from a view, function should return a response object.
Thanks.

Answer 1

i guess you want return process_event(), so that your view returns whatever it gets back

as it currently reads, your view executes process_event but throws away the returned HttpResponse
