iphone Json POST request to Django server creates QueryDict within QueryDict

Question

I\'m creating a JSON POST request from Objective C using the JSON library like so:

NSMutableURLRequest *request;
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NS         


        

Answer 1

This is the way to process a POST request with json data:

def view_example(request):
    data=simplejson.loads(request.raw_post_data)

    #use the data

    response = HttpResponse("OK")
    response.status_code = 200
    return response 

Answer 2

I have already dealt with this issue. I found a temporary solution as reading the request.body dict. I assume you have imported the json/simplejson library already. In my view:

post = request.body
post = simplejson.loads(post)
foo = post["foo"]

This code block helped me to pass post issue. I think posting querydict in request.POST has not properly developed on NSMutableURLRequest yet.

Answer 3

My cruel hack to work around my problem is:

hack_json_value = request.POST.keys()[0]
hack_query_dict = json.loads(hack_json_value)
foo = hack_query_dict['foo']
bar = hack_query_dict['bar']

So this will allow me to extract the two JSON values with an extra step on server side. But it should work with one step.
