django-allow-cidr 0.3.0

A Django Middleware to enalbe use of CIDR IP ranges in ALLOWED_HOSTS.

A Django Middleware to enalbe use of CIDR IP ranges in ALLOWED_HOSTS.

Quickstart

Install Django Allow CIDR:

pip install django-allow-cidr

Add the Middleware to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES (for Django < 1.10) or MIDDLEWARE settings. It should be the first in the list:

MIDDLEWARE = (
    'allow_cidr.middleware.AllowCIDRMiddleware',
    ...
)

Add the ALLOW_CIDR_NETS setting:

ALLOW_CIDR_NETS = ['192.168.1.0/24']

Profit!

Features

• The normal ALLOWED_HOSTS values will also work as intended. This Middleware is intended to augment, not replace, the normal Django function.
• If you do define ALLOW_CIDR_NETS and it has values, the middleware will capture what you have in ALLOWED_HOSTS, set ALLOWED_HOSTS to [‘*’] and take over validation of host headers.
• The ALLOW_CIDR_NETS values can be any valid network definition for the netaddr package.

Running Tests
