#16004 closed Bug (fixed)

csrf_protect does not send cookie if view returns TemplateResponse

Reported by:	Luke Plant	Owned by:	nobody
Component:	CSRF	Version:	1.3
Severity:	Release blocker	Keywords:

Description

See http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/f96e982254fbe5c3S

The problem is that decorator_from_middleware does not render the response the way that normal handling does.

Note that problem will be hidden if CsrfViewMiddleware is in use.

See also #16003 which is likely related.

I've attached a proposed fix. I've got full tests as well, but they depend on a refactoring of some existing tests that I haven't yet committed.

This would unfortunately render #15008 ([16087]) useless.

Patch needs improvement:	set

There *must* be a better way to fix this, I can't believe that CSRF prevents us from making it easier to customize the admin.

It's not just CSRF, decorator_from_middleware is fundamentally broken w.r.t. TemplateResponse. This would be a bug in decorator_from_middleware even if csrf_protect didn't exist.

'gzip_page' is also affected (and would also be fixed by this), but the bigger issue is any 3rd party decorator that happens to use decorator_from_middleware.

And the bigger issue again is TemplateResponse, and the concept of lazy responses. I'm sure there are many other bugs lurking wherever rendering a template has side-effects - such as in django.contrib.messages and django.contrib.session.
