Django RequestFactory() secure not working

[jvc26]

Could anyone explain what is going wrong here:

factory = RequestFactory()

factory.post('/', secure=True).is_secure()

Surely that should be True?

If you print out your code you will see that you are adding a key-value to the WSGI environ:

# print factory.post('/', secure=True)

<WSGIRequest

path:/,

GET:<QueryDict: {}>,

POST:<QueryDict: {}>,

COOKIES:{},

META:{

 ...

 'PATH_INFO': u'/',

 ...

 'REQUEST_METHOD': 'POST',

 ...

 'SERVER_PROTOCOL': 'HTTP/1.1',

 'secure': True,

 ...

 'wsgi.url_scheme': 'http',

 ...

>

This is because factory.post has the following parameters:

post(path, data={}, content_type=MULTIPART_CONTENT, follow=False, **extra)

Your secure=True gets pushed into extra and it appears in the environ as expected.

The solution for modeling TLS requests is to set the 'wsgi.url_scheme' to 'https' using an unpacked dictionary.

# obj = factory.post('/', **{'wsgi.url_scheme': 'https'})

# print obj

# print obj.is_secure()

<WSGIRequest

path:/,

GET:<QueryDict: {}>,

POST:<QueryDict: {}>,

COOKIES:{},

META:{

 ...

 'PATH_INFO': u'/',

 ...

 'REQUEST_METHOD': 'POST',

 ...

 'wsgi.url_scheme': u'https',

 ...

>

True
