Question

I am running django server and when I do a post I get a 403 message. My question is that to make a json call as shown below should I be running apache? Or else, what am I doing wrong?

In the html page I have included the latest jquery file only.

 var snddata = {};
  snddata["username"] = username;
  snddata["firstname"] = firstname;
  snddata["lastname"] = lastname;
  snddata["usertype"] = $("#usertype").val();
  snddata["address"] = address;
  snddata["emailid"] = emailid;
  snddata["empid"] = empid;
  $.post("/home/", snddata, 
     function callbackHandler(data, textstatus) 
     {
     if (data.status == 1)
     {
        alert("User added successfully");
     }
     else 
     {
        alert(data.msg);
     }
     }, 
     "json"
     );

Django has a csrf protection and you must to put “csrfmiddlewaretoken” for every POST request.
Try to add this line of code:

snddata["csrfmiddlewaretoken"] = $('input[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]').val();

You must insert this tag in your form, wich returns a hidden input field with csrf_token:

{% csrf_token %}
