Monday videos: AJAX in Django

Post-video note

By the end of class we had gotten as far as getting a 403 request from our Django application. The solution is to add the following to our AJAX request:

headers: { "x-csrftoken": form.elements["csrfmiddlewaretoken"].value },

This ensures that the token generated by csrf_token is included in the request (when you submit a form normally django knows how to handle it, but when you send an AJAX request this needs to be specified).
