One of the best-but-not-working-for-me answer is http://stackoverflow.com/a/4707639/755319 All of the approved answers suggest 403 vs 401 at least 3 things: Use RequestContext as the third parameter of render_to_response_call Add {% csrf_token %} in every form with POST method Check the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in settings.py I've done exactly as suggested, but the error still appeared. I use django 1.3.1 (from ubuntu 12.04 repository) and python 2.7 (default from ubuntu) This is my View: # Create your views here. from django.template import RequestContext from django.http import HttpResponse from django.shortcuts import render_to_response from models import BookModel def index(request): return HttpResponse('Welcome to the library') def search_form(request): return render_to_response('library/search_form.html') def search(request): if request.method=='POST': if 'q' in request.POST: q=request.POST['q'] bookModel = BookModel.objects.filter(title__icontains=q) result = {'books' : bookModel,} return render_to_response('library/search.html', result, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) else: return search_form(request) else: return search_form(request) and this is my template (search_form.html): {% extends "base.html" %} {% block content %}

Wby the URL is forbidden for some reason.

site. Most Web sites want you to navigate using the URLs in the Web pages for that site. They do not often allow you to browse the file directory structure of the site. For example try the following URL http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10663446/post-method-always-return-403-forbidden (then hit the 'Back' button in your browser to return to this page): http://www.checkupdown.com/accounts/grpb/B1394343/ This URL should fail with a 403 error saying "Forbidden: You don not have permission to access /accounts/grpb/B1394343/ on this server". This is because our CheckUpDown Web site deliberately does not want you to browse directories - you have to navigate from one specific Web page to another using the hyperlinks in those Web pages. This is true for most Web sites on http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E403.html the Internet - their Web server has "Allow directory browsing" set OFF. Fixing 403 errors - general You first need to confirm if you have encountered a "No directory browsing" problem. You can see this if the URL ends in a slash '/' rather than the name of a specific Web page (e.g. .htm or .html). If this is your problem, then you have no option but to access individual Web pages for that Web site directly. It is possible that there should be some content in the directory, but there is none there yet. For example if your ISP offers a 'Home Page' then you need to provide some content - usually HTML files - for the Home Page directory that your ISP assigns to you. Until the content is there, anyone trying to access your Home Page could encounter a 403 error. The solution is to upload the missing content - directly yourself or by providing it to your ISP. Once the content is in the directory, it also needs to be authorised for public access via the Internet. Your ISP should do this as a matter of course - if they do not, then they have missed a no-brainer step. If the entire Web site is actually secured in some way (is not open at all to casual Internet users), then an 401 - Not authorized message could

I'm using UKCrashReporter with the post 403 error bundled PHP script I've modified. This code does a POST to a specified URL along with the crash report. I'm on a shared server running Linux. My main domain is synapticmishap.co.uk. The Problem When I send the crash report off, on the Cocoa side, it reports as having sent it successfully, but I don't receive an email. The code has been used in lots of other well established Cocoa projects and it was working for me a few months ago. That leads me to conclude that the problems are related to my web server setup, something I know almost nothing about. When I look at my log files, I see entries like this: IP Redacted - - [10/Jun/2010:09:47:53 +0100] "POST /crashreportform.php HTTP/1.1" 403 74 "-" "UKCrashReporter" What I've tried I've tried accessing the page at http://synapticmishap.co.uk/crashreportform.php via a browser. It loads fine. I've made sure the permissions on this php script are set so anyone can execute it. I've tried removing the deny entries from the section of .htaccess at various levels starting with root. I've downloaded the URLParams plugin for Firefo
