CSRF check seems to fail with "Referer checking failed" when user is
browsing with FQDN with trailing dot.
At this line:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.2.12/django/middleware/csrf.py#L280
while {{{referer.netloc}}} has trailing dot, one of the {{{good_hosts}}}
that is supposed to match comes from {{{request.get_host()}}} which strips
the trailing dot.
{{{is_same_domain}}} does not consider domain strings with and without
trailing dots the same domain.
We neither set CSRF_USE_SESSIONS nor CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN in settings.
(Our system uses DRF, but the original error seems to come from the
CsrfViewMiddleware implementation.)
For now, we add CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS our production domain with trailing
dot to circumvent this issue.
