Getting { "error": "unsupported_grant_type" }

[affo]

Hi,
I am writing an AngularJS application that consumes mi REST Framework APIs.
I am using DOT as oAuth2 provider.
The problem is that the same request sent with cURL is successful, once it is sent with an XHR request I get:

{ "error": "unsupported_grant_type" }

I suspected an encoding problem, so I tried to change headers putting:

'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8'

But it doesn't work...
For precision's sake, XHR requests are sent with Restangular.

Thank you in advance

had to use:

 var data = {
        foo: "foo",
        bar: "bar",
 };

 data = $.param(data); //jquery perfectly encondes data

 Restangular.all('oauth/token').post(data, undefined, {
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8',
 });

Isn't it possible to make DOT accept application/json as input?

I have walk through the source code and it is not possible to accept application/json as input :(

Hi (and sorry for taking so long for an answer),
the default behavior is to enforce the use of application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Type.
The OAuthLibCore implementation extracts the request body using request.POST dictionary, which is empty for a request that uses application/json Content-Type.

Anyhow, from your settings, you can set the JSONOAuthLibCore class that supports application/json. The following example shows how to use the new backend class:

OAUTH2_PROVIDER = {
    # other OAUTH2 settings
    'OAUTH2_BACKEND_CLASS': 'oauth2_provider.oauth2_backends.JSONOAuthLibCore'
}

This feature will be released in the milestone 0.9.0 and is already merged in master.
Regards.

Hi, Isn't it possible that OAUTH2_BACKEND_CLASS is used based on the content type of the request.
I actually want to support 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8' as well as 'application/json'. Is there any way i can do it ?
