💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Placing SecurityMiddleware too low in the list.

Confusing middleware classes with view functions.

The SecurityMiddleware should be placed near the top of the middleware list to ensure security headers are set early.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to ensure the CSRF middleware runs after the session middleware.

Django

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    '[1]',
]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ddjango.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Placing CSRF middleware before session middleware causes errors.

Omitting CSRF middleware entirely.

The CsrfViewMiddleware must come after SessionMiddleware because it uses session data to validate requests.

Complete the code to ensure clickjacking protection works properly by placing it last.

Removing important middleware like SecurityMiddleware.

XFrameOptionsMiddleware should be last to set headers after other middleware have run.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Reversing the order of session and locale middleware.

Omitting session middleware.

SessionMiddleware must come before LocaleMiddleware because locale depends on session data.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a middleware list with security, session, and CSRF middleware in correct order.

Django

MIDDLEWARE = [
    '[1]',
    '[2]',
    '[3]',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Common Mistakes

Placing CSRF middleware before session middleware.

Putting security middleware too late.

SecurityMiddleware runs first, then SessionMiddleware, then CsrfViewMiddleware to ensure proper security and session handling.
