APIClient and accept_language header

[Daviddd]

Dear all,

Using APIClient (not the requests based class) is it possible to pass as param the accept_language?

class BaseAPITestCase(APITestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpTestData(cls):
        def _get_jwt_token(user_credentials):
            url_token_auth = reverse('api:default:api-token-auth')
            response = cls.client.post(url_token_auth, user_credentials, format='json')
            assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK
            return response.data['token']

        cls.client = APIClient(enforce_csrf_checks=True)

        cls.user1 = {}
        cls.user1['user'] = get_user_model().objects.get(username='user1')
        cls.user1['auth'] = 'JWT {0}'.format(_get_jwt_token({'username': cls.user1['user'].username,
                                                             'password': 'password'}))

class TestBase(BaseAPITestCase):
    def test_flags(self):
        url = reverse('api:default:flags-list')
        response = self.client.get(url, HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=self.user1['auth'])
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)

Using the JSON Token it works great 

response = self.client.get(url, HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='JWT <value>')

but this doesn't

response = self.client.get(url, ACCEPT_LANGUAGE='es', HTTP_AUTHORIZATION='JWT <value>')

I would need to mimic: 

curl -H "Accept-Language: it" http://localhost:8001/v1/flags/

curl -H "Accept-Language: en" http://localhost:8001/v1/flags/

curl -H "Accept-Language: es" http://localhost:8001/v1/flags/

Thanks.

Hi David,

I think you’d need to pass it like this:

    HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE=‘es'

Kind Regards,

Thanks Carlton, yeap it works. I also used HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE=‘es', but after your reply I found the error in my code. It was very difficult to spot it without your answer.
