Question

From an android app I’m POSTing data to an Heroku django solution.

But django app don’t receive any data.

Testing with curl (insteat android app) I take this log:

dani@heroku-test:~/tmp$ curl -vd '[{"lat ____some data ___ adf"}]'  \
                        http://myApp.heroku.com/x/receive_JSON/ 

* About to connect() to myApp.heroku.com port 80 (#0)
*   Trying 107.21.106.77... connected

< 
* Connection #0 to host myApp.heroku.com left intact
* Closing connection #0

It seems that is a problem with redirect, it seems that curl (android) don’t send POST data after redirect operation.

How can I do to fix this behavior or what may be a workaround?

My django view to test received data:

@csrf_exempt    
def receive_JSON(request ):

    return HttpResponse("Rebut: {0}".format( len( request.raw_post_data ) ) )

To send data I use How to send a JSON object over Request with Android? (also httpost.setHeader(“Content-type”, “application/json”); )

Notice: this works fine in local with runserver.
