Comment (by Aymeric Augustin):
You need two things:
1. Create a CSRF token by accessing it.
2. Get this token from JavaScript.
I usually solve 1. with a trivial middleware:
{{{
class SendCsrfCookie:
"""
Send a CSRF cookie with every request.
Any page could trigger an AJAX POST request.
"""
def process_request(self, request):
csrf.get_token(request)
}}}
and 2. with the method described in the documentation.
I'm having a hard time following your comments. As far as I can tell,
you're proposing something for 2. which doesn't work at all but
accidentally triggers 1. Then something else makes 2. work in your
project. I don't think that makes sense and that's why I'm rejecting the
proposal.
