Django middleware for authorizing requests based on headers.
Project description
Django Header Auth
==================
An extremely simple Django middleware for authorizing requests based on headers.
Installation
------------
1. Install via pip:
:::bash
$ pip install django-header-auth
2. Add the `HeaderAuthMiddleware`:
:::python
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
# ...
'header_auth.middleware.HeaderAuthMiddleware',
# ...
)
Usage
-----
Add a `HEADER_AUTH` dict containing the headers you'd like to check to the settings file:
:::python
HEADER_AUTH = {
'HTTP_X_SOME_HEADER': 'sometoken',
'HTTP_X_ANOTHER_HEADER': 'anothertoken',
}
The request's headers will be checked for 'X-Some-Header: sometoken' and 'X-Another-Header: anothertoken' and simply pass through if everything is ok. Otherwise a 403 Forbidden will be returned.
