[Answer]-Sending A post request from ajax to a python function but receiving a GET request?

I am surprised to see that none of you didn’t noticed that he has define method: “POST” in his ajax and his function is used on “GET” request.

And the main reason he is getting the output for print request.method = “GET” and 500 error is because of using window.location.href=”create_post/” in his ajax success function. Every request is by default a get request unless we explicitly define it “POST” or any other.

So here it goes like this,
– Ajax calls the url via POST, for unknown reason the response comes in success function(weird coz according to the view posted POST method return nothing to ajax request).
– The success function again calls the same url(page refresh) via a GET request and he sees print request.method as “GET” with 500 error coz this is wrong way to do so.

your ajax method is post, so i think your views.py may try this

def create_post(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        First_name=request.POST['F_Name']
        Last_Name=request.POST["L_Name"]
        Email_address=request.POST["Eadd"]
        Pass=request.POST["Password"]
    return HttpResponse("<html><body>hi this is me .</body></html>")
