Authorization through POST forms
Diego
up with a few questions.
When I tried unit testing my create using a form with the POST method,
I came across the CSRF error. That's when I figured out I need to
actually authenticate myself before I try to perform these unit
tests.
1. For unit testing is html forms a good way to go?
2. Can someone point me to a good resource to get authentication
working and how to actually get authenticated? Most of the resources I
found online were mostly of code and not too much of how to actually
authenticate my session to make a request.
I recently started working with Django.

For testing the serveral verbs on your api, the
utils.unittest.TestCase.client[1]_ should be enough.
For integrationtesting with your front-end stuff, I'd take a look at
windmill[2]_ . It provides a way to put the windmilltests in a test in
the default Django testrunner.

Do you mean while testing or just getting any authentication in your api
app?

exempt hanlder.
I mainly am looking for a resource to figure out how to get an API
user to authenticate his calls. So far I only see how curl is used in
the documentation. What if the user has to do this using PHP/
Javascript? In POST are they sent as additional arguments?
