Using SimpleRouter and can't perform PUT, DELETE, PATCH from Ajax. 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED

[James Pacileo]

Hi,

I'm using the SimpleRouter tuorial within the docs.

Just to test I've created a temporary Authentication class:

class BackboneBasicAuthentication(authentication.BaseAuthentication):
    def authenticate(self, request):
        user = User.objects.filter(username="james")
        return (user, None)

 settings look like this

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'core.rest_authentication.BackboneBasicAuthentication',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
       'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',
    ),
}

 Submitting a PUT request returns a 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED

{"detail": "Method 'PUT' not allowed."}

I've tried with  X-HTTP-Method-Override as well. No go.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've spent a whole day trying to figure this out, hopefully someone can help.

Regards,

James

Hi James,

  The 405 response is because the view doesn't have a 'put' method.

  What do the views you're testing look like?

  I'd keep thing simple, and drop the authentication class while you're testing - do you still get the same response?
  One other obvious thing to note, you mention this line...

  user = User.objects.filter(username="james")

  which should probably be...

  user = User.objects.get(username="james")

  As right now it looks like you're returning a queryset rather than a user instance from your authentication class.

Regards,

  Tom

Hi Tom,

 

thanks for the response! It all seems to be working now.

Spent ages trying to figure this out, so happy I can finally use it. :)
