How to get POST, DELETE in django request

Where does django store the PUT and DELETE request information. Is this in POST or something?

if not (request.POST.get(required_arg) or request.GET.get(required_arg) or  request.DELETE.get(required_arg)): 

'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'DELETE'

You can get PUT/DELETE request data by using QuerySet.

from django.http import QueryDict

delete_queryset = QueryDict(request.body)
description = delete_queryset.get('description')

Because most web browsers don't actually support PUT, DELETE, or PATCH, Django (as well as other frameworks) simulates those with a POST.

If you don't actually know which method the parameter you want will use you could use request.REQUEST.get(required_arg) which checks the POST variables first and then GET. The Django docs discourage this in favor of explicitly request.GET or request.POST for most circumstances.

See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/request-response/
