django-ratelimit stack keys. Not the intended behaviour
I think my understanding of django-ratelimit is incorrect. I am using v3.0.0 but v2.0 produces the same results. Lets say I have this code: @ratelimit(key='post:username', rate='5/h', block=True) @ratelimit(key='post:tenant', rate='5/h', block=True) @csrf_exempt def index(request): print(request.POST["username"]) print(request.POST["tenant"]) print("") return HttpResponse('hallo', content_type='text/plain', status=200) Let's say tenant A submits username "Antwon" 6 times, then tenant A will be blocked for 1 hour, which is good. But, lets say tenant B also has a user "Antwon", then that user for tenant B will not be able to log in. I would assume that Antwon for tenant B should still be able to log in, otherwise tenant A can DOS other tenants? Is this intended behavior or is my implementation incorrect? -
Django Template: Csrf token invalid for multiple post request in the same form
Im working on a Django project and got stuck in a problem that involve csrf token. I have a form that i handle the submit with javascript function, because in the same form i need to perform 2 POST. Form is something like that: <form> {% csrf_token %} <input name="field_1" type="text"> .... .... <input name="file" type="file"> <button onclick="send_form()"> Send data </button> </form> the send_form() method performs two post request with axios. The first send the textfields and the second the file. I need to do this because the server two different api for manage the text data and the file. The problem is that the first post succeeds and then the second fail, giving 403 error and in the header i can see the error "CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect." There is a way to do this in a single form? I read that someone apply the csrf to the entire body of the page but i can't figure out how to do it. Thank you for any answers. -

setting a django object column-field to None & how to access an object field's name
I'm trying to set a django object field/column to null using a function in my views.py. This is the model. class Myteam(models.Model): author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) QB = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True) RB1 = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True) WR = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True) TE = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True) D = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True) K = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True) this is the views.py. It's not actually a "delete" function as I've learned you can't delete object fields, but you can set them to None. def delete_player(request, id, col_name): player = Myteam.objects.get(id=id) setattr(player, col_name, None) player.save() return redirect('show') I'm looping through the object's fields and displaying them as html table rows, but to get this views.py function working, I need to get the "col_name" from the respective column/field. I understand that django will set a default field name but I can't find how to access it. Various sources say to use "field.name" but I've tried testing this out with a print statement and django gives me an attribute error/no such attribute as 'name' for example. team = Myteam.objects.all() for t in team: print(t.WR, t.id, t.name) So, how can you access/pass a field's name? I got some interesting advice on this earlier from another user
