This document explains all middleware components that come with Django. For information on how to use them and how to write your own middleware, see the middleware usage guide.
Available middleware
Cache middleware
class FetchFromCacheMiddleware
Enable the site-wide cache. If these are enabled, each Django-powered page will be cached for as long as the CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS
setting defines. See the cache documentation.
“Common” middleware
Adds a few conveniences for perfectionists:
Forbids access to user agents in the
DISALLOWED_USER_AGENTS
setting, which should be a list of compiled regular expression objects.Performs URL rewriting based on the
APPEND_SLASH
andPREPEND_WWW
settings.If
APPEND_SLASH
isTrue
and the initial URL doesn’t end with a slash, and it is not found in the URLconf, then a new URL is formed by appending a slash at the end. If this new URL is found in the URLconf, then Django redirects the request to this new URL. Otherwise, the initial URL is processed as usual.For example,
foo.com/bar
will be redirected tofoo.com/bar/
if you don’t have a valid URL pattern forfoo.com/bar
but do have a valid pattern forfoo.com/bar/
.If
PREPEND_WWW
isTrue
, URLs that lack a leading “www.” will be redirected to the same URL with a leading “www.”Both of these options are meant to normalize URLs. The philosophy is that each URL should exist in one, and only one, place. Technically a URL
foo.com/bar
is distinct fromfoo.com/bar/
— a search-engine indexer would treat them as separate URLs — so it’s best practice to normalize URLs.Sets the
Content-Length
header for non-streaming responses.
CommonMiddleware.``response_redirect_class
Defaults to HttpResponsePermanentRedirect
. Subclass CommonMiddleware
and override the attribute to customize the redirects issued by the middleware.
class BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware
GZip middleware
警告
Security researchers recently revealed that when compression techniques (including GZipMiddleware
) are used on a website, the site may become exposed to a number of possible attacks. Before using GZipMiddleware
on your site, you should consider very carefully whether you are subject to these attacks. If you’re in any doubt about whether you’re affected, you should avoid using GZipMiddleware
. For more details, see the the BREACH paper (PDF) and breachattack.com.
The django.middleware.gzip.GZipMiddleware
compresses content for browsers that understand GZip compression (all modern browsers).
This middleware should be placed before any other middleware that need to read or write the response body so that compression happens afterward.
It will NOT compress content if any of the following are true:
- The content body is less than 200 bytes long.
- The response has already set the
Content-Encoding
header. - The request (the browser) hasn’t sent an
Accept-Encoding
header containinggzip
.
If the response has an ETag
header, the ETag is made weak to comply with RFC 7232#section-2.1.
You can apply GZip compression to individual views using the gzip_page()
decorator.
Conditional GET middleware
class ConditionalGetMiddleware
Handles conditional GET operations. If the response doesn’t have an ETag
header, the middleware adds one if needed. If the response has an ETag
or Last-Modified
header, and the request has If-None-Match
or If-Modified-Since
, the response is replaced by an HttpResponseNotModified
.
Locale middleware
Enables language selection based on data from the request. It customizes content for each user. See the internationalization documentation.
LocaleMiddleware.``response_redirect_class
Defaults to HttpResponseRedirect
. Subclass LocaleMiddleware
and override the attribute to customize the redirects issued by the middleware.
Message middleware
Enables cookie- and session-based message support. See the messages documentation.
Security middleware
警告
If your deployment situation allows, it’s usually a good idea to have your front-end Web server perform the functionality provided by the SecurityMiddleware
. That way, if there are requests that aren’t served by Django (such as static media or user-uploaded files), they will have the same protections as requests to your Django application.
The django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware
provides several security enhancements to the request/response cycle. Each one can be independently enabled or disabled with a setting.
SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER
SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF
SECURE_HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS
SECURE_HSTS_PRELOAD
SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS
SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT
SECURE_REFERRER_POLICY
SECURE_SSL_HOST
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT
HTTP Strict Transport Security
For sites that should only be accessed over HTTPS, you can instruct modern browsers to refuse to connect to your domain name via an insecure connection (for a given period of time) by setting the “Strict-Transport-Security” header. This reduces your exposure to some SSL-stripping man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
SecurityMiddleware
will set this header for you on all HTTPS responses if you set the SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS
setting to a non-zero integer value.
When enabling HSTS, it’s a good idea to first use a small value for testing, for example, SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS = 3600
for one hour. Each time a Web browser sees the HSTS header from your site, it will refuse to communicate non-securely (using HTTP) with your domain for the given period of time. Once you confirm that all assets are served securely on your site (i.e. HSTS didn’t break anything), it’s a good idea to increase this value so that infrequent visitors will be protected (31536000 seconds, i.e. 1 year, is common).
Additionally, if you set the SECURE_HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS
setting to True
, SecurityMiddleware
will add the includeSubDomains
directive to the Strict-Transport-Security
header. This is recommended (assuming all subdomains are served exclusively using HTTPS), otherwise your site may still be vulnerable via an insecure connection to a subdomain.
If you wish to submit your site to the browser preload list, set the SECURE_HSTS_PRELOAD
setting to True
. That appends the preload
directive to the Strict-Transport-Security
header.
警告
The HSTS policy applies to your entire domain, not just the URL of the response that you set the header on. Therefore, you should only use it if your entire domain is served via HTTPS only.
Browsers properly respecting the HSTS header will refuse to allow users to bypass warnings and connect to a site with an expired, self-signed, or otherwise invalid SSL certificate. If you use HSTS, make sure your certificates are in good shape and stay that way!
注解
If you are deployed behind a load-balancer or reverse-proxy server, and the Strict-Transport-Security
header is not being added to your responses, it may be because Django doesn’t realize that it’s on a secure connection; you may need to set the SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER
setting.
Referrer Policy
New in Django 3.0.
Browsers use the Referer header as a way to send information to a site about how users got there. When a user clicks a link, the browser will send the full URL of the linking page as the referrer. While this can be useful for some purposes — like figuring out who’s linking to your site — it also can cause privacy concerns by informing one site that a user was visiting another site.
Some browsers have the ability to accept hints about whether they should send the HTTP Referer
header when a user clicks a link; this hint is provided via the Referrer-Policy header. This header can suggest any of three behaviors to browsers:
- Full URL: send the entire URL in the
Referer
header. For example, if the user is visitinghttps://example.com/page.html
, theReferer
header would contain"https://example.com/page.html"
. - Origin only: send only the “origin” in the referrer. The origin consists of the scheme, host and (optionally) port number. For example, if the user is visiting
https://example.com/page.html
, the origin would behttps://example.com/
. - No referrer: do not send a
Referer
header at all.
There are two types of conditions this header can tell a browser to watch out for:
- Same-origin versus cross-origin: a link from
https://example.com/1.html
tohttps://example.com/2.html
is same-origin. A link fromhttps://example.com/page.html
tohttps://not.example.com/page.html
is cross-origin. - Protocol downgrade: a downgrade occurs if the page containing the link is served via HTTPS, but the page being linked to is not served via HTTPS.
警告
When your site is served via HTTPS, Django’s CSRF protection system requires the Referer
header to be present, so completely disabling the Referer
header will interfere with CSRF protection. To gain most of the benefits of disabling Referer
headers while also keeping CSRF protection, consider enabling only same-origin referrers.
SecurityMiddleware
can set the Referrer-Policy
header for you, based on the SECURE_REFERRER_POLICY
setting (note spelling: browsers send a Referer
header when a user clicks a link, but the header instructing a browser whether to do so is spelled Referrer-Policy
). The valid values for this setting are:
no-referrer
Instructs the browser to send no referrer for links clicked on this site.
no-referrer-when-downgrade
Instructs the browser to send a full URL as the referrer, but only when no protocol downgrade occurs.
origin
Instructs the browser to send only the origin, not the full URL, as the referrer.
origin-when-cross-origin
Instructs the browser to send the full URL as the referrer for same-origin links, and only the origin for cross-origin links.
same-origin
Instructs the browser to send a full URL, but only for same-origin links. No referrer will be sent for cross-origin links.
strict-origin
Instructs the browser to send only the origin, not the full URL, and to send no referrer when a protocol downgrade occurs.
strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Instructs the browser to send the full URL when the link is same-origin and no protocol downgrade occurs; send only the origin when the link is cross-origin and no protocol downgrade occurs; and no referrer when a protocol downgrade occurs.
unsafe-url
Instructs the browser to always send the full URL as the referrer.
Unknown Policy Values
Where a policy value is unknown by a user agent, it is possible to specify multiple policy values to provide a fallback. The last specified value that is understood takes precedence. To support this, an iterable or comma-separated string can be used with SECURE_REFERRER_POLICY
.
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Some browsers will try to guess the content types of the assets that they fetch, overriding the Content-Type
header. While this can help display sites with improperly configured servers, it can also pose a security risk.
If your site serves user-uploaded files, a malicious user could upload a specially-crafted file that would be interpreted as HTML or JavaScript by the browser when you expected it to be something harmless.
To prevent the browser from guessing the content type and force it to always use the type provided in the Content-Type
header, you can pass the X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header. SecurityMiddleware
will do this for all responses if the SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF
setting is True
.
Note that in most deployment situations where Django isn’t involved in serving user-uploaded files, this setting won’t help you. For example, if your MEDIA_URL
is served directly by your front-end Web server (nginx, Apache, etc.) then you’d want to set this header there. On the other hand, if you are using Django to do something like require authorization in order to download files and you cannot set the header using your Web server, this setting will be useful.
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Some browsers have the ability to block content that appears to be an XSS attack. They work by looking for JavaScript content in the GET or POST parameters of a page. If the JavaScript is replayed in the server’s response, the page is blocked from rendering and an error page is shown instead.
The X-XSS-Protection header is used to control the operation of the XSS filter.
To enable the XSS filter in the browser, and force it to always block suspected XSS attacks, you can pass the X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
header. SecurityMiddleware
will do this for all responses if the SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER
setting is True
.
警告
The browser XSS filter is a useful defense measure, but must not be relied upon exclusively. It cannot detect all XSS attacks and not all browsers support the header. Ensure you are still validating and sanitizing all input to prevent XSS attacks.
SSL Redirect
If your site offers both HTTP and HTTPS connections, most users will end up with an unsecured connection by default. For best security, you should redirect all HTTP connections to HTTPS.
If you set the SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT
setting to True, SecurityMiddleware
will permanently (HTTP 301) redirect all HTTP connections to HTTPS.
注解
For performance reasons, it’s preferable to do these redirects outside of Django, in a front-end load balancer or reverse-proxy server such as nginx. SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT
is intended for the deployment situations where this isn’t an option.
If the SECURE_SSL_HOST
setting has a value, all redirects will be sent to that host instead of the originally-requested host.
If there are a few pages on your site that should be available over HTTP, and not redirected to HTTPS, you can list regular expressions to match those URLs in the SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT
setting.
注解
If you are deployed behind a load-balancer or reverse-proxy server and Django can’t seem to tell when a request actually is already secure, you may need to set the SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER
setting.
Session middleware
Enables session support. See the session documentation.
Site middleware
Adds the site
attribute representing the current site to every incoming HttpRequest
object. See the sites documentation.
Authentication middleware
class AuthenticationMiddleware
Adds the user
attribute, representing the currently-logged-in user, to every incoming HttpRequest
object. See Authentication in Web requests.
Middleware for utilizing Web server provided authentication. See 使用 REMOTE_USER 进行身份验证 for usage details.
class PersistentRemoteUserMiddleware
Middleware for utilizing Web server provided authentication when enabled only on the login page. See 仅在登录界面使用 REMOTE_USER for usage details.
CSRF protection middleware
Adds protection against Cross Site Request Forgeries by adding hidden form fields to POST forms and checking requests for the correct value. See the Cross Site Request Forgery protection documentation.
X-Frame-Options
middleware
Simple clickjacking protection via the X-Frame-Options header.
Middleware ordering
Here are some hints about the ordering of various Django middleware classes:
-
It should go near the top of the list if you’re going to turn on the SSL redirect as that avoids running through a bunch of other unnecessary middleware.
-
Before those that modify the
Vary
header (SessionMiddleware
,GZipMiddleware
,LocaleMiddleware
). -
Before any middleware that may change or use the response body.
After
UpdateCacheMiddleware
: ModifiesVary
header. -
Before any middleware that may raise an exception to trigger an error view (such as
PermissionDenied
) if you’re usingCSRF_USE_SESSIONS
.After
UpdateCacheMiddleware
: ModifiesVary
header. -
Before any middleware that may change the response (it sets the
ETag
header).After
GZipMiddleware
so it won’t calculate anETag
header on gzipped contents. -
One of the topmost, after
SessionMiddleware
(uses session data) andUpdateCacheMiddleware
(modifiesVary
header). -
Before any middleware that may change the response (it sets the
Content-Length
header). A middleware that appears beforeCommonMiddleware
and changes the response must resetContent-Length
.Close to the top: it redirects when
APPEND_SLASH
orPREPEND_WWW
are set toTrue
.After
SessionMiddleware
if you’re usingCSRF_USE_SESSIONS
. -
Before any view middleware that assumes that CSRF attacks have been dealt with.
Before
RemoteUserMiddleware
, or any other authentication middleware that may perform a login, and hence rotate the CSRF token, before calling down the middleware chain.After
SessionMiddleware
if you’re usingCSRF_USE_SESSIONS
. -
After
SessionMiddleware
: uses session storage. -
After
SessionMiddleware
: can use session-based storage. -
After any middleware that modifies the
Vary
header: that header is used to pick a value for the cache hash-key. -
Should be near the bottom as it’s a last-resort type of middleware.
