How send data from client Javascript to Django server?

I tried the following but it didn't work.  I want to read "token" cookie value

and send to server but it never receives it as a valid form.  Any sample

working code greatly appreciated.

<script>

        function start_processing() {

                path  = document.getElementById("path_inp").value;

                token = "";

                csrf  = ""

                kvps  = document.cookie.split(";");

                for(i = 0; i < kvps.length; i++) {

                        if (kvps[i].split("=")[0].trim() == "token") {

                                token = kvps[i].split("=")[1].trim();

                        }

                        if (kvps[i].split("=")[0].trim() == "csrftoken") {

                                csrf  = kvps[i].split("=")[1].trim();

                        }

                }

                alert(path + " " + token + " " + csrf);

                $.post("/extraction",

                       {"path" : path, "token" : token, "csrftoken" : csrf});

        }

</script>
