How can I find out who is responsible for Django's CSRF middleware so I could ask them questions? I'm having so many CSRF failures for months on my Django site and it is costing me hours and hours of problems every few weeks. I want to contact the developers who worked on it to ask them one or two root questions about the problems I'm ...
Hi, I am struggling with the CSRF token in a simple POST form in Django. The template generates the following CSRF output instead of outputting the value of the token: <input type='hidden' name='csrfmiddlewaretoken' value='{'csrf_token':django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x1255690>}' /> I am using {% csrf_token %} in the ...
After reading this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#how-to-use-it I came to the conclusion that it is not valid to use this except for when you trust the person who is using the page which enlists it. Is this correct? I guess I don't really understand when it's safe to use this because of this statement: This...

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 ...
Hi, within my django app I am storing strings of html in the db that will then be displayed on the users' home pages as "messages". Some of these messages contain forms, but not being written in the template language, I am not able to insert the csrf token (thus breaking the app). Is there a way to insert this token directly from wit...

I have a django site running on 1.2.1, and once in a while my users lose a lot of work because the csrf_token cookie does not exist and the page errors out with a 403 error on post. I narrowed this down to another site (that my users frequent) deleting the cookie on me. The site does this with the ActiveX ClearAuthenticationCache command...

We are trying to build an iPhone application that allows a user to authenticate ...
Are forms that use the POST method required to have CSRF protection? I'm following a book and the code examples throw 403 errors. I did some searching and it seems as if I need to enable CSRF in all my forms. My questions are: Does Django now require that all POST forms be protected from CSRF? All I need to do to accomplish this is...

After reading Django's documentation on this subject, it states that I need to add the {% csrf_token %} template tag within the HTML <form> in my template. Unfortun...
