500 Error With Api to Server, Swift To Django
I'm trying to post to my server but, I get a 500 Error when I make the request directly from my Swift app. With cURL and Postman, I can make the request with no issues. All I should need to do is pass two pieces of information to the server: Header and Body. Here is the way I'm calling from Swift. I'm using Alamo Fire to make the request and this is how I have it set up: func requestServer(_ method: HTTPMethod,_ path: String,_ body: [String : Any]?,_ encoding: ParameterEncoding,_ headers: [String : Any]?,_ completionHandler: @escaping (JSON) -> Void){ let url = baseURL?.appendingPathComponent(path) refreshTokenIfNeed { Alamofire.request(url!, method: method, parameters: body, encoding: encoding, headers: nil).responseJSON{ (response) in switch response.result { case .success(let value): let jsonData = JSON(value) completionHandler(jsonData) break case .failure: completionHandler(nil) break } } } } In the requests, I need to pass a header with a an authorization token and the body with the order Id of the order the driver wants to pick up. Here are two functions I'm working with now: // API - Picking up a ready order func pickOrder(orderId: Int, completionHandler: @escaping (JSON) -> Void) { let path = "api/driver/order/pick/" let headers: [String: Any] = … -

File upload security in Django-2.x
The documentation on secure file upload (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/models/fields/#file-upload-security) doesn't quite answer my concerns. Consider the following use case : a (potentially malicious) user can use a form to upload a file. I want to implement the following controls (returning an error message and not accepting the file if it doesn't comply) : the file must be less than 50MiB the file name must be of format ^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ]{1,250}.csv$ the filemust be ANSI encoded only a whitelist of ANSI characters inside the file will be allowed (for example [a-zA-Z1-9;]) securing metadata to prevent code injection through malicious metadata What would be the best way to implement this ? Also did I forget important controls for this use case ? -

Django routing using optional URL parameter
I am trying to implement a route in Django that captures all requests to /results/, such that the optional url parameters /results/1/ and /results/2/ are translated to specific result pages (as replacement to ?page={i}). However, this doesn't work as expected. When using the path /results/{i}, where i represents the page number, the routing works fine. However, when leaving the i out, such that the path is /results/, then an error is produced. The error that I get is: Page not found. What I want to do is to process /results/ as /results/1/, but without making different url patterns. Any suggestions? My setup: urls.py urlpatters = [ path('results/<int:page>/', SearchListView.as_view(), name='list'), ] views.py class SearchListView(ListView): model = Search paginate_by = 5 -
Conditional sign up for internal Django site
I'm using Django (with python-social-auth) to authenticate users for an internal student information system. We currently have an external SQL table, that keeps track of whether a user is: an admin, staff member, or student, based on their Google Apps email address. Current post_save function @receiver(post_save, sender=User) def create_student_or_staff(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: try: state = UserState.objects.get( email=instance.email ) except UserState.DoesNotExist: # if exception is raised here, user is not created but site crashes # if no exception is raised, a user is created but no admin, staff or student instance pass if state.staff: if state.is_admin: Admin.objects.create( user=instance ) else: Staff.objects.create( user=instance ) else: class_instance = None if state.year and state.band and state.set: class_model = apps.get_model('class_groups.ClassGroup') class_instance = class_model.objects.get( year=state.year, band=state.band, set=state.set ) Student.objects.create( user=instance, class_group=class_instance ) When a user first attempts to login, I want to be able to check against that database to see if they meet any of the criteria. Currently, using the post_save signal for the user (I've also tried to use pre_save but no dice) to somehow halt the creation of a Django user object if they are not on the UserState table. Is this possible at all? The only way I can halt … -
Serialize model fields into nested object/dict
Imagine the following model: class Person(models.Model): name = models.CharField() address_streetname = models.CharField() address_housenumber = models.CharField() address_zip = models.CharField() I have a django rest framework ModelSerializer that exposes all the fields. But I would like to be able to serialize the address fields into a dict. So when serialized to json output would be: { name: 'Some name', address: { streetname: 'This is a test', housenumber: '23', zip: '1337', } } I tried creating creating a AddressSerializer class AddressSerializer(serializers.Serializer): streetname = serializers.CharField() housenumber = serializers.CharField() zip = serializers.CharField() and then set the PersonSerializer.address to use the AddressSerializer class PersonSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): ... address = AddressSerializer() This results in my schema being correct. I generate swagger docs by using drf-yasg. It looks at the serializers to generate the correct model definitions. So the serializers needs to represent the schema. So this is where I am at, at the moment. Obviously now it fails because there is no address property in the Person model. How would you go about solving this? -
Deploying multiple Python applications on the same Compute Engine server / Docker
I am a PHP developer(10 years) currently learning Python(2 months). I currently have a server on Compute Engine with about 10 domains hosted with 10 different websites/applications. Each application has requirements such as SSL, caching, database connectivity etc. I am building a few Python (Django and Flask) applications and I stuck on deploying them. When I run the Django application using python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80 the terminal is occupied and I cannot launch another application on a different port. The same issue for Gunicorn. Each Python application will have a database connection, SSL, Cache etc. With my PHP application, I use Nginx to point to the folder, LetsEncrypt to add SSL to the site and I can deploy the applications on the same server using different folders for each application. I can also re-start the server from the Compute Engine admin(which I need to do) and once the server starts, all websites are available to the end users. I would like to understand how to do the same with Python. As these projects are not being paid for/bringing in revenue I cannot host them on their own servers due to cost. I use Docker containers for development on my computer … -
Why does React fetch retrieve blank object?
I have a working Django REST API which returns this: { "id": 1, "brand": "peugeot", "model": "3008", "variant": "allure" } I am using the following code to fetch the above data: render() { const { brand, model, variant } = this.props; let url = `http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/car/${brand}/${model}/${variant}/`; console.log(url) <== url is correct when checked in console fetch(url) .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => data.length === 0 ? this.setState({ data : data }) : null ) <== I have used a condition for setState to stop fetching infintely const { data } = this.state; console.log(data) <== This is a blank object with no data in console console.log(data.id) <== This is undefined in console return ( <div> {data.id} <== No data is shown on webpage Car Details </div> ); } No error is shown when I try to fetch the data on my webpage. What am I doing wrong? P.S. Data can be fetched from the same API server when I have an array of objects, and I use map to loop over the data. Over here I am trying to fetch a single item so there is no array, just an object. Am I doing something wrong with the syntax? -
