how to access POST data inside tastypie custom Authentication

Question

I\'m trying to write custom Authentication in tastypie. Basically, I want to do the authentication using the post parameters and I don\'t want to use the django auth at all,

Answer 1

This error occurs when you access request.body (or request.raw_post_data if you're still on Django 1.3) a second time or, I believe, if you access it after having accessed the POST, GET, META or COOKIES attributes.

Tastypie will access the request.body (raw_post_data) attribute when processing PUT or PATCH requests.

With this in mind and without knowing more detail, I would:

• Check if this only happens for POST/PUTs. If so, then you would have to do some overriding of some tastypie methods or abandon your approach for authentication.
• Look for places in your code where you access request.body (raw_post_data)
• Look for calls on 3rd party modules (perhaps a middleware) that might try to access body/raw_post_data

Hope this helps!
