How to make sure that my AJAX requests are originating from the same server in Python

Question

I have already asked a question about IP Authentication here: TastyPie Authentication from the same server

However, I need something more! An IP address could be very e

Answer 1

If this app server is running on an ordinary web server that has configurable listening IP address, set it to 127.0.0.1. With the TCPServer module, it's like

SocketServer.TCPServer(("127.0.0.1", 12345), TheHandlerClass)

Use netstat command to verify the listening address is correct as "127.0.0.1"

tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.12345 *.* LISTEN

This will effectively making any connection originated outside the same host impossible on the TCP level.
