Is it possible to rename X_CSRFTOKEN to X-CSRFTOKEN at middleware/csrf.py ?
Using underscore in http header name is not common at all.

Hi, I think you've ​missed the documentation on how Django treats HTTP headers:

any HTTP headers in the request are converted to META keys by converting all characters to uppercase, replacing any hyphens with underscores and adding an HTTP_ prefix to the name. So, for example, a header called X-Bender would be mapped to the META key HTTP_X_BENDER.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
