MethodOverrideMiddleware

✓ from method_override.middleware import MethodOverrideMiddleware

✗ from django_method_override.middleware import MethodOverrideMiddleware

Add middleware to MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py. Then submit a POST with _method field or X-HTTP-Method-Override header to override the HTTP method.

# settings.py MIDDLEWARE = [ ... 'django_method_override.middleware.MethodOverrideMiddleware', ... ] # In a form, add a hidden field: # <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE"> # Or send header: X-HTTP-Method-Override: DELETE

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe middleware only overrides methods on POST requests. Overriding on GET is not supported.

fix

Ensure your override only happens on POST submissions (standard HTML form behavior).

affects: all

gotchaIf multiple method override values are provided (both header and param), the param takes precedence. This can be surprising if you expect header priority.

fix

Be consistent: use either header or form field, not both, or check source for ordering.

affects: all
