django handling requests - getting CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

[Shekar Tippur]

Hello,

I am trying to post a request via curl. I get a CSRF verification failed message.

Here is the entry in my urls.py

url(r'^setProfile/', AddToUserProfile),

class AddToUserProfile(generics.ListAPIView):
    queryset = UserPrefs.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserPrefSerializer

class UserPrefSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = UserPrefs
        fields = ('id', 'prefs', 'obj_id', 'user_id')
        depth = 1

I have read on previous posts that I need to add a context_instance=RequestContext(request)

How do I add it and what is the right way to handle this?

I have done it like this:

curl -H "Cookie: csrftoken=mycsrfToken" -X POST -d
'csrfmiddlewaretoken= mycsrfToken&...'

Larry,

I think I needed to append as_view() to the url.

url(r'^setProfile/', AddToUserProfile.as_view()),

I will try the other curl option as well.
