Request/Response Modification in Middleware - Hari's Scenario

class AuthTokenMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response

    def __call__(self, request):
        token = request.META.get('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION', '')
        request.user_token = token
        response = self.get_response(request)
        response['X-Custom-Header'] = 'processed'
        return response

  1. The middleware successfully attaches token to request and adds header to response

  2. The middleware fails because request object attributes cannot be modified dynamically

  3. The token extraction should use request.headers instead of request.META

  4. Response headers cannot be set after get_response is called

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

The middleware successfully attaches token to request and adds header to response

Explanation

The middleware correctly attaches user token to request object before view execution and adds custom header to response, demonstrating both request and response modification capabilities.
