Answer 1

You just need to add the middleware class to the middleware list in the settings.py options and follow the instructions for your views, as indicated in the snippet. Here is the middleware documentation guide .

Hope this helps you.

Here's an example of middleware redirecting to an SSL site if using HTTP:

from django.http import HttpRequest from django.shortcuts import redirect #Require SSL com only. If we get anything else, redirect to https / class RequireSSL(object): def process_request(self, request): assert isinstance( request, HttpRequest ) if not request.is_secure(): return redirect( 'https://%s/' % request.get_host() ) 

Then inside your settings.py:

 MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [ 'website.middleware.require_ssl.RequireSSL', ... ]
