Description
I want to generate a PDF file from Django view, so I'm using django-wkhtmltopdf app, the app is working but my template (that is used in the view) has many AJAX requests using jQuery. Views that requested by AJAX requests are protected by csrf token.
Issue
All AJAX requests are getting 403 Forbidden response because of CSRF verification failed.
Trial
I tried django-cors-headers and still getting the same responses.

I am trying to understand how InertiaJS handles Laravel Redirects using back().
In the InertiaJS docs, this section:
Redirects
When making a non-GET Inertia request, via or manually, be sure to always respond with a proper Inertia response.
For example, if you're creating a new user, have your "store" endpoint return a redirect back to a standard GET endpoint, such as your user index page.
Inertia will automatically follow this redirect and update the page accordingly. Here's a simplified example.
For instance, in Laravel, when trying to reset the user password, the user clicks on the "Email Reset Link". This action on the server ends with a back()->with(). I've studied this request inside DevTools, and I can see a 302 Response with a Location response header.
It seems Inertia is intercepting this 302 response & requesting the Location specified.
In general, as far as I know, 302 are handled by the Brower, however, in this case, after the 302 requests, I see a GET request sent to the server for the Location with a request header of 'x-inertia': true.
Is it really InertiaJS handling this or does the browser send a GET request to the URK specified in the Location header and appends all headers from the previous request that caused the 302?
Appreciate your help,

ajax call
postman url
console error
Postman returns a response, but browser gives me 403. I have attached my postman request, my ajax call as well as the browser error. Any advice is helpful
You need to pass credentials. follow this link for more information.
I ran into this issue as well. While cedric is right, the Authorization header needs to be specified, another issue can cause this as well. Postman does not include an Origin header in its requests (see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68380707/1029688). This could cause it to ignore CORS errors that you would normally encounter when making web requests from a browser.
I have sessions enabled in Django to use Django's authentication framework.
From a html page served by Django, and after authenticating as a user with sufficient permissions, I'm trying to send a PATCH request via JQuery's ajax() function, and I'm getting HTTP 403 errors with the response detail CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect.
What I've done so far:
I'm including the correct csrf token in the X-CSRF-TOKEN header field.
I've set SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY = False.
The cookie sent in the ajax request includes the sessionid. If I get rid of this sessionid, the request succeeds.To do so, I either delete the session cookies in the browser or edit the PATCH request in the browser's developer tools and resend it with the sessionid deleted from the Cookie header field. Obviously I need to re-login as soon as I refresh the page, but in the meantime, I can PATCH to my heart's content.
So far I couldn't find out why the presence of the sessionid cookie makes Django deny the request.
For applications that authenticate users with Windows Azure Active Directory(WAAD), unable to refresh token from javascript.
All the resources are protected by Authorize attribute makes calls to login.windows.net/{0} if token is expired. If the request is from page load it works as expected but if the request is from javascript ajax call it is unable make call to login.windows.net/{0}. It returns with status 302 and message
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://login.windows.net/xxx.
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'xxx' is therefore not allowed access.
How to refresh the token from javascript calls?
It looks like you secured your web API with a method more suited for web UX.
Take a look at ADAL JS for a more reliable way of dealing with javascript driven apps: http://www.cloudidentity.com/blog/2014/10/28/adal-javascript-and-angularjs-deep-dive/

I have excluded the line 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware' from my django settings file in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and yet one of our users received the "Forbidden" Error from an AJAX request. How is this possible, especially if the CSRF Middleware is disabled?
