Disable CSRF validation on Wagtail Page

Question

I'm trying to do a curl POST request on a wagtail page. Unfortunately I hit the CSRF protection.

I tried to disabled CSRF on this specific type of page using the @csrf_exempt decorator, without success.

Here is my pseudo code (one of many attemps):

@method_decorator(csrf_exempt, name='serve')
class NewsletterPage(MedorPage):

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _("newsletter page")

Seems like the csrf verifition is done even before the serve method is called.

Any idea?

thanks

You would have to decorate the wagtail.core.views.serve view itself. Since that is patchy as you want to keep its url in your wagtail_urls, you could do the following wherever you include the wagtail urls:

# urls.py

# ...
from wagtail.core import urls as wagtail_urls
# ...


### these two lines can really go anywhere ...
from wagtail.core import views
views.serve.csrf_exempt = True
### ... where they are executed at loading time

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    re_path(r'^pages/', include(wagtail_urls)),
    # ...
]

This will apply to all wagtail pages then, not just one specific type however.
