Fixes #712
Fixes #636
Fixes #808
Description of the Change
The function django.contrib.auth.authenticate() has an optional first
request
argument. Some backends, such as django-axes (i.e. the subject of #712) and others (i.e. the subject of #636) require this argument to be present. This change provides this argument.Additionally, this change is based on the patch in #712, and constructs a Django HttpRequest object from the DOT request object in order to provide API compatibility. This avoid the issue that caused the original fix for #636 to be reverted, and also addresses #808.
