django-rest-framework-datatables with Apache shows 414 URI too long error – CentOS

Pre-requisites

  • OS – Centos 7
  • Python 3.6.4
  • Django 3.0 (or 3.1.1)
  • Django Rest framework 3.11.1
  • django-rest-framework-datatables 0.5.0
  • Apache 2.4
  • ORACLE 19.1

I have a simple Rest API – which fetches all data from a table in Oracle database. This Django Framework is hosted on Apache webserver. This data is fed into a datatable using the django-rest-framework-datatables.

  • When I fetch data from the API using djangorest framework it works well.
  • When I fetch data using the template with ?format=datatables as the query parameter the URL is changed and it becomes a very long URL since my table consists of 50-60 columns.
  • Thus throws a 414 error.

Did anybody else face this error ?

It works well with the django’s inherent webserver but when used using Django fails.

    Yes, I faced such issue and reconfigured the code to shorten the URI.

    Django-rest-framework datatables also support POST requests which solves this particular problem of too long GET URIs, see:
