403 with django's class based view

Question

So this is a simple view that I have written.

class PostTestView(View):
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        print request.POST
        return HttpResponse("Hello there")

my urls.py has this line for the above view :

url(r'^test/create$',PostTestView.as_view(), name='app.views.create_test')

But I get an 405 Http error when I try to hit http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/test/create

This apparently means that my method post is not in the defined methods list . But I have defined it as above in my view. What could possibly be wrong here ? I am clueless

Answer 1

Try defining the get method.

The "post" method is commonly used in forms, but when you just point your browser to an url the used method is "get"
