Exception: You cannot access body after reading from request's data stream
django, exception, post, request
Solution
Use `request.data` instead of `request.body`.
`request.data` does not read the data stream again.
Problem
Since Django 1.5 raw post data is accessible via request.body. In my application I sometimes get data send via a form and sometimes raw data (json for example). Is there any way to write a function like this that does not fail? ``` def get_post_var(request, name): result = request.POST.get(name) if result: return result post_body = dict(urlparse.parse_qsl(request.body)) result = post_body.get(name) if result: return result return None ```
