I'm writing my client using GWT and my back-end is being written with
Django. I've had no issues making the two work together - they've
tied together very nicely.
I've just added my login functionality (as I'm getting to the point
where "who" you are matters) and I've written a a view method to log
my user in. This works successfully.
Now that I'm logged in, I'm trying to make subsequent calls from the
GWT client to the Django server. I'm doing a is_authenticated() check
when I first come into the call - and this always fails. I realized
that I'm most likely not sending up the required information from the
GWT client to identify "who" is making the call.
Unfortunately I can't find anything in the Django documentation that
tells me what I need to send from the client so that it knows who the
user is. I've looked through the HTTPRequest code and just can't find
it there either.
If someone can help me understand what I need to send up in the HTTP
headers, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

PS. Here's the view code that I'm running that always says that the
user is unauthenticated.
def addItem(request):
if (request.user.is_authenticated()):
try:
aItemId = request.POST.get('item', '')
aUsername = request.user.username
aNewMyItem = MyItem(item=aItemId, user=aUsername)
aNewMyItem.save()
logging.debug('Added item ' + str(aItemId) + ' for user '
+ aUsername + ' to mycollection')
except Exception, e:
errorString = 'ERROR:', e
logging.debug(errorString)
else:
logging.debug('There was no user sent with the addItem()
request')
return HttpResponseServerError()
