Disable CSRF validation on Wagtail Page

Question

I'm trying to do a curl POST request on a wagtail page. Unfortunately I hit the CSRF protection.

I tried to disabled CSRF on this specific type of page using the @csrf_exempt decorator, without success.

Here is my pseudo code (one of many attemps):

@method_decorator(csrf_exempt, name='serve')
class NewsletterPage(MedorPage):

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _("newsletter page")

Seems like the csrf verifition is done even before the serve method is called.

Any idea?

thanks

I ended up subclassing the CSRF middleware like so:

from django.middleware.csrf import CsrfViewMiddleware

from wagtail.core.views import serve

from myproject_newsletter.models import NewsletterIndexPage


class CustomCsrfViewMiddleware(CsrfViewMiddleware):

    def process_view(self, request, callback, callback_args, callback_kwargs):

        if callback == serve:
            # We are visiting a wagtail page. Check if this is a NewsletterPage
            # and if so, do not perfom any CSRF validation
            page = NewsletterIndexPage.objects.first()
            path = callback_args[0]

            if page and path.startswith(page.get_url_parts()[-1][1:])
                return None

        return super().process_view(request, callback, callback_args, callback_kwargs)
