Hello, I am trying to use Piston to provide REST support to Django. I have implemented my handlers as per the documentation provided . The problem is that i can "read" and "delete" my resource but i cannot "create" or "update". Each time i hit the relevant api i get a 400 Bad request Error.
I have extended the Resource class for csrf by using this commonly available code snippet:
class CsrfExemptResource(Resource): """A Custom Resource that is csrf exempt""" def init(self, handler, authentication=None): super(CsrfExemptResource, self).init(handler, authentication) self.csrf_exempt = getattr(self.handler, 'csrf_exempt', True)
My class (code snippet) looks like this:
user_resource = CsrfExemptResource(User)
class User(BaseHandler): allowed_methods = ('GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE')
@require_extended
def create(self, request):
    email = request.GET['email']
    password = request.GET['password']
    phoneNumber = request.GET['phoneNumber']
    firstName = request.GET['firstName']
    lastName = request.GET['lastName']
    self.createNewUser(self, email,password,phoneNumber,firstName,lastName)
    return rc.CREATED
Please let me know how can i get the create method to work using the POST operation?
