Also, here is my updated view
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpRequest , Http404
from django.views.generic.base import View
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
class TestView(View):
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
print "*******************************"
print HttpRequest.body
print request.body
print "*******************************"
return HttpResponse("hello, world")
which returns
*******************************
<property object at 0x1fd05d0>
*******************************
[02/Jul/2013 15:51:07] "POST /blog/ HTTP/1.1" 200 12
