  <pre><code>@csrf_protect
  def edit_city(request,username):
      conditions = dict()
  
      #if request.is_ajax():
      if request.method == 'GET':
          conditions = request.method
  
      elif request.method == 'POST':
          print "TIPO" , request.GET.get('type','')       
          #based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/3634778/977622     
          for filter_key, form_key in (('type',  'type'), ('city', 'city'), ('pois', 'pois'), ('poisdelete', 'poisdelete'), ('kmz', 'kmz'), ('kmzdelete', 'kmzdelete'), ('limits', 'limits'), ('limitsdelete', 'limitsdelete'), ('area_name', 'area_name'), ('action', 'action')):
              value = request.GET.get(form_key, None)
              if value:
                  conditions[filter_key] = value
                  print filter_key , conditions[filter_key]

  <p>here is my javascript code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>function getCookie(name) {
      var cookieValue = null;

  <p>i have also tried from the site with no luck : </p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajaxSetup({
      beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
          if (!csrfSafeMethod(settings.type) &amp;&amp; sameOrigin(settings.url)) {
              // Send the token to same-origin, relative URLs only.
              // Send the token only if the method warrants CSRF protection
              // Using the CSRFToken value acquired earlier
              xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", csrftoken);
          }
      }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what am i missing?</p>
