I get a 400 Bad Request error while using django-piston
- by Cheezo
Hello,
I am trying to use Piston to provide REST support to Django.
I have implemented my handlers as per the documentation provided .
The problem is that i can "read" and "delete" my resource but i cannot "create" or "update".
Each time i hit the relevant api i get a 400 Bad request Error.
I have extended the Resource class for csrf by using this commonly available code snippet:
class CsrfExemptResource(Resource):
"""A Custom Resource that is csrf exempt"""
def init(self, handler, authentication=None):
super(CsrfExemptResource, self).init(handler, authentication)
self.csrf_exempt = getattr(self.handler, 'csrf_exempt', True)
My class (code snippet) looks like this:
user_resource = CsrfExemptResource(User)
class User(BaseHandler):
allowed_methods = ('GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE')
@require_extended
def create(self, request):
email = request.GET['email']
password = request.GET['password']
phoneNumber = request.GET['phoneNumber']
firstName = request.GET['firstName']
lastName = request.GET['lastName']
self.createNewUser(self, email,password,phoneNumber,firstName,lastName)
return rc.CREATED
Please let me know how can i get the create method to work using the POST operation?
