Django-rest-framework: Browsable API can't get POST data via HTML form, but can from Raw data

Question

Well, the problem is simple. If I post my data via the HTML form, a new record is created in the DB but all data passed is null, as shown in the picture.

post response via html form

However, if a use the "raw_data" interface, everything works just fine:

post response via raw data

Code is quite simple:

views.py:

class CollectionList(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
    queryset = Collection.objects.all()
    serializer_class = CollectionSerializer

serializer.py:

class CollectionSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
  class Meta:
    model = Collection
    fields = ('id','title', 'nlikes')

Any suggestion?

You simply need to upgrade django rest framework to 3.3.1. There was a bug in 3.3.0 that sets all form data to empty values when using the session login.

Edit: The issue was https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/issues/3574
