I am making ajax call like below:
var data_dict = {'user':{{ user.id }}, 'bookId':that.id, 'csrfmiddlewaretoken': '{{ csrf_token }}'};
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url:"/issuebook",
data:data_dict,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success:function(response)
{
}
});
urls.py is:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$',views.checkLogin,name='checklogin'),
url(r'^mylibrary/(?P<pk>\d+)/(?P<user_name>[\w\-]+)$',login_required(views.MyLibrary.as_view()),name='mylibrary'),
url(r'^centrallibrary/(?P<pk>\d+)/(?P<user_name>[\w\-]+)$',login_required(views.CentralLibrary.as_view()),name='centrallibrary'),
url(r'^issuebook$',login_required(views.IssueBookView.as_view()),name='issuebook'),
]
I am getting "Forbidden (CSRF token missing or incorrect.): /issuebook" error on ajax call.
The csrf token in ajax call is getting rendered as:
var data_dict = {'user':{{ user.id }}, 'bookId':that.id, 'csrfmiddlewaretoken':'fSSdu8dJ4FO6FvDz8eU5ISzOewRYyGbC'};
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url:"/issuebook",
data:data_dict,
contentType: false,
success:function(response)
{
}
});
This error is caused by processData
and contentType
options in your ajax function. Removing these two options will fix the issue.
Explanation:
The arguments must be sent to Django as urlencoded with Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
. Whereas, if you set processData: false
it won't encode the POST parmaters and contentType: false
will send ajax POST request as text/plain
.
