I'm attempting to re-route user posts from one django instance to
another. I'm doing this by receiving a user's post request, and then
sending the post to another django instance as a post request (sorry
if this is confusing).
I'm having trouble making a post request to a django form using
urllib2.urlopen. I'm on revision 12523 of django trunk, so I used the
@csrf_exempt decorator for the view that receives the post. When I
tried to post to the form, it would return a 500 error, and not log
the error in apache's error log for some reason. So I decided to have
my receiving view return an Http404 when it receives a post request.
This time it returned a "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden", and still the
receiving django instance doesn't log any error in apache's error log.
I think the issue is, that no matter where I post from, or what I used
to send the post request with, if the post request isn't from the same
server, and submitted from the same page, it won't allow me to post to
it. I've even changed the user-agent and content type in my post
request, and the errors are the same.
Here is the post request:
#Create the headers
headers = {
'Content-Type' : 'text/html; charset=UTF-8',
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9)
Gecko/20100401 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.9',
}
#Create the POST data
post_data = {
'email_address' : 'f...@gmail.com',
'user_feedback' : 'Hello World',
}
#urlencode the post data
data = urllib.urlencode(post_data)
url = 'http://www.example.com'
#Create the request
req = urllib2.Request(url, data, headers)
#raise IOError, url
#Send the request
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
Here is the receiving form:
<form method="post">
<p>
<label>Email Address:</label><br/>
<span class="quiet small">email address should be in the form
of per...@domain.com</span><br />
<input id="email_address" type="text" name="email_address"
maxlength="100" /><span id="validEmail"></span><br/>
</p>
<p>
<label>Feedback:</label><br/>
<textarea id="user_feedback" rows="5" cols="70"
name="user_feedback"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input value="Submit" type="submit" class="submit" />
<input value="Reset" type="reset" class="submit" />
</p>
</form>
The receiving view is just a simple view with @csrf_exempt as a
decorator. Any idea what the issue might be?
