Recently I've found use for the code found at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#ajax
and as I can't sleep well if my JS doesn't pass some of the basic JSlint
standards I've changed the snippet a bit:
{{{
jQuery(document).ajaxSend(function (event, xhr, settings) {
function getCookie(name) {
var cookieValue = null, cookies = [], i = 0, j = 0, cookie
= {};
if (document.cookie && document.cookie !== '') {
cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (j = cookies.length; i < j; i += 1) {
cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
// Does this cookie string begin with the
name we want?
if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1)
=== (name + '=')) {
cookieValue =
decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
break;
}
}
}
return cookieValue;
}
function sameOrigin(url) {
// url could be relative or scheme relative or absolute
var host = document.location.host, // host + port
protocol = document.location.protocol,
sr_origin = '//' + host,
origin = protocol + sr_origin;
// Allow absolute or scheme relative URLs to same origin
return (url === origin || url.slice(0, origin.length + 1)
=== origin + '/') || (url === sr_origin || url.slice(0, sr_origin.length +
1) === sr_origin + '/') || // or any other URL that isn't scheme relative
or absolute i.e relative.
!(/^(\/\/|http:|https:).*/.test(url));
}
function safeMethod(method) {
return (/^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|TRACE)$/.test(method));
}
if (!safeMethod(settings.type) && sameOrigin(settings.url)) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken",
getCookie('csrftoken'));
}
});
}}}
* "===" instead of "=="
* all vars at the beginning of the function (and all the changes that
brings forth)
I realize these changes are very small, but I think since this is a simple
copy/paste snippet it should be of the highest quality possible (there's
room for improvement still).
I'm using it and it performs as intended.
