# peeringdb_server.middleware

Custom django middleware.

# Classes
---

## CurrentRequestContext

```
CurrentRequestContext(builtins.object)
```

Middleware that sets the current request context.

This allows access to the current request from anywhere.


### Methods

#### \__call__
`def __call__(self, request)`

Call self as a function.

---
#### \__init__
`def __init__(self, get_response)`

Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

## PDBCommonMiddleware

```
PDBCommonMiddleware(django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware)
```

"Common" middleware for taking care of some basic operations:

    - Forbid access to User-Agents in settings.DISALLOWED_USER_AGENTS

    - URL rewriting: Based on the APPEND_SLASH and PREPEND_WWW settings,
      append missing slashes and/or prepends missing "www."s.

        - If APPEND_SLASH is set and the initial URL doesn't end with a
          slash, and it is not found in urlpatterns, form a new URL by
          appending a slash at the end. If this new URL is found in
          urlpatterns, return an HTTP redirect to this new URL; otherwise
          process the initial URL as usual.

      This behavior can be customized by subclassing CommonMiddleware and
      overriding the response_redirect_class attribute.


### Methods

#### process_request
`def process_request(self, request)`

Check for denied User-Agents and rewrite the URL based on
settings.APPEND_SLASH and settings.PREPEND_WWW
