How to remove `LOCATION` from the header options in DRF?

Question

I have a serializer which contains a URL field, By default, if there is a field named as URL then the value of this field is added in the HEADER option as LOCATION, I don't want to do this, and would like to remove the LOCATION option from the header.

This is my serializer:-

class DemoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Demo
        fields = ('type', 'protocol', ---- 'url', 'somefield')

Now when the above serializer is used with POST/PUT/PATCH request to send data, I get this as response:-

Is there any method, or way I can remove the LOCATION option from the header, without effecting my other serializers and view in the project??

To clarify, this is the response in the screenshot, not the request, correct? Also, will you post it as text rather than a screenshot? – Talion

Yes, you are right @Code-Apprentice, the screenshot is of response, with header options, but, if i post the text, when I do curl/http only the data is returned in response, so that's for ease I posted the screenshot. – Salome

I don't understand what editing your question here with text has to do with curl. – Talion

Answer 1

In View which is you want to remove Location header, you should override get_success_headers function.

Default

    def get_success_headers(self, data):
        try:
            return {'Location': str(data[api_settings.URL_FIELD_NAME])}
        except (TypeError, KeyError):
            return {}

Override

    def get_success_headers(self, data):
        return {}

You could change or set the URL_FIELD_NAME to None which is used for setting the Location header:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    "URL_FIELD_NAME": None,  # This field is used in the Location header on a created resource
}
