django-revproxy | Reverse Proxy view that supports all HTTP methods

You're having this error because django-revproxy attempts to read the raw request body so it can create a proxy request to the upstream server.

However, with Django's (and WSGI's, and buffering) semantics, this isn't possible once you've accessed the request body as anything but a raw stream, which you do when you request.data.get('name'). This parses the request body as JSON, HTTP multipart, whatever, depending on DRF's request negotiation configuration, and consumes the stream.

There are two ways you could get around this, as far as I see:

• pass bot_name somewhere else than the body; a query string parameter, an HTTP header, part of the URL, for instance, so you don't need to access the body, or
• make the backend request yourself using requests instead of reverse-proxying (which is basically the same thing, but with added magic to try and copy the request through as-is).

I believe you can override view's dispatch() method. Do the checks you need and if user is not allowed to perform given request — return response with code 403, otherwise continue normal flow.
