Request for comments, Issue #29208: "Mistake in the documentation, request.POST['username'] is not working, but request.POST.get('username') is working!"

[leonhar...@gmail.com]

Hello Everyone.

Here is an Issue, that was marked as wontfix:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29208

In my opinion, this is just a minor documentation problem.
I did not expect it to be so controversial.
But others disagreed.
Thus I seek your attention to share your opinion.
If the majority thinks this should stay as wontfix, then I won't bother in this matter again.
Otherwise I would create a pull request.


Thank you for your time

I agree with the status of the ticket. The login() example is only to show you how to use authenticate() and login(), it can ignore the details of request.POST validation, which you'd normally use a form for.
