I have a very simple Resource like this for my model ‘Presentacion’
class PresentacionResource(ModelResource):
model = Presentacion
fields = (some fields)
ignore_fields = (few to ignore)
and I need to implement authentication for this, so as I read, I created two wrappers
class AuthListOrCreateModelView(ListOrCreateModelView):
permissions = (IsAuthenticated, )
class AuthInstanceModelView(InstanceModelView):
permissions = (IsAuthenticated, )
And then in my in my urls.py
url(r'^presentaciones/$', AuthListOrCreateModelView.as_view(resource=PresentacionResource), name='presentacion-root'),
url(r'^presentaciones/(?P<id>[0-9]+)$', AuthInstanceModelView.as_view(resource=PresentacionResource), name='presentacion'),
This is working fine for the GET ‘presentaciones/’ requests but when I try to make a PUT request, I’m getting a 403 FORBIDDEN
What’s strange to me is that GET is working fine: as long as I’m logged, it’s responding correctly but if I logout it responds with 403 FORBIDDEN.
If you are using Django’s session based authentication, then you may be tripping over the CSRF protection built into Django (see UserLoggedInAuthentication class[1]).
If this is the case, you will need to ensure that a CSRF cookie gets sent to the client and then you can adapt the jQuery instructions[2] to send the X-CSRFToken header with requests that may change data.
