I am new to both python and Django but I have been programming for more than 20 years so I am teaching myself this stuff. I came across an old training video that I have been going through. This training has you develop a website that can create web pages. I got everything right so far but I just got to the point where you are to save off your changes to create a new file and I am getting the 403 Forbidden error associated with a POST to my connection. The error specifically states "CSRF token missing or incorrect."
Now I am currently reading through this stuff on the Django web site and I find that you must have it at the top of your "views" but can someone explain in more plain language why this isn't on by default and what the problem really is here? In reading the info on the Django site it seems backwards so I must be missing something. When I read it, it sounds like you have to add this to "gain" the protection not remove it. What I think I am seeing is my system is not allowing my browser to write new files so I have the protection by default and I need to add this stuff in order to remove the protection. That makes sense to me but seems backwards from what I read on the Django site. I am very confused by this. Any help would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Forbiden-403-error-tp32856702p32856702.html Sent from the django-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
