Thanks for the reply. However, your answer didn't really solve my issue. The form i mentioned is just an example, in fact i have other views,. The issue is that i want those views to only handle information and send them bach to the front end, but if a user tries to access them through a browser, he either gets redirected to another page or gets an error message.
