Re: [cherrypy-users] do_logout gives 405 error

[Joseph S. Tate]

What's the signature of your do_logout handler? Does it match the request? Especially the HTTP Method? There are only a couple of reasons a 405 happen: If you are using method dispatcher, and ask for GET, and no method is provided, the second reason is also related to HTTP Method not being allowed.

I have an older cherrypy application that had been running on 3.1.  I am  testing it against 3.2 (Debian upgrade, basically).  It uses session_auth to authenticate users, and login still works just fine.

Logout is broken, though.  My code gives the user a "logout" hyperlink which basically points to "do_logout?from_page=.".  In 3.2 I get a 405 "Method Not Allowed" error in response to this request.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the response.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking; I just enabled session_auth in the config and (previously) it "just worked", just like do_login().  My do_login() request uses POST, maybe I should use that for do_logout()?

[Joseph S. Tate]

Yep, it looks like the do_logout request needs to be a POST. It's not-idempotent, so GET isn't appropriate.

That was it; I created a form using the post method, and that worked.  Kind of an ugly hack, unfortunately.  Is there a way to override this behavior, or if I expose a function how would I call do_logout()?
