Comment:
Hello Patrick, thanks for your report and for helping making Django
better.
I do understand your issue though it seems a bit of a niche problem to me.
I believe you could fix this by providing a custom view for the
`login_url` param of the `user_passes_test` method that would redirect the
user to whatever view is more appropriate than the POST-only view,
particularly a view that could handle GET requests and provide a way of
refreshing the session and taking the user to a suitable page to redo the
POST. Also, your POST-only view could be tweaked so GET requests are
allowed only when coming from a login operation, and the view itself could
raise 405 for every other situation.
In summary, I don't think this is a bug in Django, and I don't think the
outlined issue applies to the broader ecosystem. Django is a framework
designed to offer robust and accurate solutions for common scenarios, so
I'll close the ticket accordingly, but if you disagree, you can consider
starting a new conversation on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/5 Django Forum], where you'll
reach a wider audience and likely get extra feedback. More information in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/bugs-and-
