I have a Django view that receives POSTs which do not need to have the CSRF token. Therefore I used the @csrf_exempt
decorator on the view. The problem is that sometimes I do not issue a response from the view (it's a Twitter bot, it receives an HTTP POST for every tweet and I do not want to respond to every tweet). When I don't issue a response I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/adam/webapps/newman/lib/python2.5/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 100, in get_response
response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
File "/home/adam/webapps/newman/lib/python2.5/django/views/decorators/csrf.py", line 24, in wrapped_view
resp.csrf_exempt = True
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'csrf_exempt'
resp (which I assume is the response) is None because the view was exited with just return
.
How can I avoid this error and still not require CSRF tokens in the POST.
Thanks!
