CSRF verification fails on requests.post()

Question

Can't figure this one out. The CSRF verification works fine in all my Django template views. Here I'm trying to post from a python client using techniques I've found in other posts. The client.get(url) call does provide the token (the debugger shows, for example: client.cookies['csrftoken'] = 'POqMV69MUPzey0nyLmifBglFDfBGDuo9') but requests.post() fails with error 403, CSRF verification failed. What's going on?

My Django view (with some dummy stuff in the methods):

class CameraUpload(View):
    template_name = "account/templates/upload.html"

    def get(self, request):
        dummy = VideoForm()
        return render(request, self.template_name, {'form': dummy})

    def post(self, request):
        dummy = VideoForm()
        return render(request, self.template_name, {'form': dummy})

And the client that's trying to do the post:

import requests

url = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/account/camera_upload/'

client = requests.session()
client.get(url)
csrftoken = client.cookies['csrftoken']

payload = {
    'csrfmiddlewaretoken': csrftoken,
    'tag': '69'
}

r = requests.post(url, data=payload)

EDIT:

Tried adding the referer as per this link so code now looks like:

r = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=dict(Referer=url))

but same problem exists.

Answer 1

您应该将会话（ client ）用于帖子：

r = client.post(url, data=payload, headers=dict(Referer=url))
