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

I've created a utility method that works well for me. Though I am not sure how this affects the underlying parts of Django, it works:

import io


def copy_body(request):
    data = getattr(request, '_body', request.body)
    request._body = data
    request._stream = io.BytesIO(data)
    request._files = None
    return data

I use it in a middleware to add a JSON attribute to request: https://gist.github.com/antonagestam/9add2d69783287025907
