Traceback from csrf_exempt in 1.3.1

I have never used csrf_exempt before. I keep experiencing a traceback
with 1.3.1, which may be self-induced. Here is my views file:

auth/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.utils import simplejson
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

@csrf_exempt
def json_api(request):
return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(request),
mimetype="application/json")

When I do a curl:

curl -i -X POST -d '{"screencast":{"subject":"tools"}}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/auth/

I experience 500 Internal Server Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
