I need to create a secure restFUL api using sencha and django. I am fairly new to python. So far i am able to send request from sencha to server using basic authentication as below
 new Ext.data.Store({    proxy: {      type: "ajax",       headers: {        "Authorization": "Basic asdjksdfsksf="     }    }  })     In php/apache i can access those header with ease with the code below
$headers = apache_request_headers(); print_r($headers);   How to do this in python?
To get all headers, you can use request. headers. keys() or request. headers.
It's possible that a request can come in via POST with an empty POST dictionary -- if, say, a form is requested via the POST HTTP method but does not include form data. Therefore, you shouldn't use if request. POST to check for use of the POST method; instead, use if request. method == "POST" (see above).
You can access them within a view using request.META, which is a dictionary.
If you wanted the Authorization header, you could do request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
If you're creating a restful API from scratch, you might want to take a look at using tastypie.
You can use
request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']   and sometimes
request.META['Authorization']   can help.
