There are several questions on SO related to this topic, but none that I have seen solve my issue.
I have an endpoint in my Django/Tastypie API that accepts a PUT
in order to update the database. This works great when testing in localhost:8000
, however, my production database is located in a different domain, so I need to enable CORS to get this PUT
call to update the database.
I have found the tutorial here that gives an example of how to do this, however, when I execute the cURL command:
curl -X PUT --dump-header - -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: ApiKey api:MYAPIKEY" -d "{\"mykey\": \"my_value\", \"resource_uri\": \"/api/v1/mytable/362/\"}" my.domain.com/api/v1/mytable/362/
I am still receiving 401 UNAUTHORIZED for my calls (header dump below):
HTTP/1.1 401 UNAUTHORIZED
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:08:34 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type,Authorization
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
My CoresResource superclass code:
class CorsResource(ModelResource):
""" adds CORS headers for cross-domain requests """
def patch_response(self, response):
allowed_headers = ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']
response['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
response['Access-Control-Allow-Headers'] = ','.join(allowed_headers)
return response
def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
""" calls super and patches resonse headers
or
catches ImmediateHttpResponse, patches headers and re-raises
"""
try:
response = super(CorsResource, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
return self.patch_response(response)
except ImmediateHttpResponse, e:
response = self.patch_response(e.response)
# re-raise - we could return a response but then anthing wrapping
# this and expecting an exception would be confused
raise ImmediateHttpResponse(response)
def method_check(self, request, allowed=None):
""" Handle OPTIONS requests """
if request.method.upper() == 'OPTIONS':
if allowed is None:
allowed = []
allows = ','.join([s.upper() for s in allowed])
response = HttpResponse(allows)
response['Allow'] = allows
raise ImmediateHttpResponse(response=response)
return super(CorsResource, self).method_check(request, allowed)
My endpoint code:
class DataModelResource(CorsResource):
data = fields.OneToOneField(DataModelResource, "data", full=True)
class Meta:
allowed_methods = ['get', 'put']
authentication = ApiKeyAuthentication()
authorization = Authorization()
queryset = Data.objects.all()
resource_name = 'mytable'
Does anyone see any reason why making a PUT
from a cross-domain should be failing with this code???
I'm at a complete loss here.
