Re: Posting from HTTP to HTTPS on same domain results in CSRF failure

I am using analytics.  Hmm.  I hoped that there was a django setting I may have missed somewhere.  I'll tackle it in a few hours and post my findings and/or solution to help others with a similar issue.  If there are any other suggestions as well I'm open to more ideas.

Perhaps this could be fixed by simply redirecting all HTTP requests to HTTPS? Also, if you're using Analytics and your visitor comes in from an encrypted (Google) search page, then your Analytics will fail as the referer header will not contain search terms if the search hit is non-HTTPS.

I did this approach before and it seems to break Google Search results. :(  I do want users to use the site and find me easily after all.

Hello everyone,

   I am in the process of deploying a Django app which works both on
HTTP and HTTPS connections, and require that some specific forms only
submit via HTTPS.  I want the transition process over to HTTPS to be
seamless for the end-user.  I am implementing this on a site-wide login
form.

   Are there any workarounds for this or any middleware I can create to
allow same domain HTTP to HTTPS transition without worrying about CSRF
tokens being declined?  To ensure it wasn't a stale cookie issue, I just
cleared my cookies before posting this.

   The csrf cookie is allowed for any connection, according to Firefox's
cookie viewer, so shouldn't this mean that the cookie will be accepted
over HTTPS?

Is there any reason you can't make the entire site https?

Ought to solve the problem. And my understanding is that https everywhere is a reasonable approach nowadays.



Thanks in advance.

Django version is 1.4 branch.
