Django no sessionid in cookie
django, django-1.6, python, rest
Solution
According to the Django docs, a user has no session until it is necessary:
Django only sends a cookie if it needs to. If you don’t set any session data, it won’t send a session cookie.
You need to set some session data, then you will find the `sessionid` in the cookie.
Problem
Im using Mongo Engine/REST Framework with Django 1.6. All I need is for the client to get a sessionid when he hits one of the views. However at the moment no sessionid is present in the cookie. views.py ``` @csrf_exempt def updateInput(request): return HttpResponse("view has been hit") ``` settings.py ``` MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = Common.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES + ('django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',) INSTALLED_APPS += ('django.contrib.sessions',) SESSION_ENGINE = 'mongoengine.django.sessions' SESSION_SERIALIZER = 'mongoengine.django.sessions.BSONSerializer' DJANGO_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.sessions', ) ``` Any ideas ?
