SWFUpload与Django 1.2 csrf问题

Question

I`m trying to upload files to Django with SWFUpload. Found this article Django with SWFUpload . But found one problem. In Django 1.2 a csrf requires a csrf token to be send on every form submit, and it includes files that are send with SWFUpload.So uploading doesnt until i turn off csrf ( globally or for view using @csrf_exempt decorator). Is there a better way to handle this rather than turning off csrf?

I know that i can pass custom data with SWFUpload post_params: {"csrfmiddlewaretoken" : ""},. But i don`t know how to get only value of csrf token in template, not a full input tag.

To retrieve the csrf token itself, you'll need to resort to using some of Django's internals. First off, include this line at the top of your view.

from django.middleware.csrf import get_token

Now, when passing parameters to your template, do something like

def my_view(request):
    return render_to_response("index.html", {"csrf_token": get_token(request)})

In your template, just reference the token with {{ csrf_token }} .
