When I call channels_client.send_to_user("123", "user-event", {"message": "hello worlds"}) I get this error (although the message goes through to my client)

Do you not get this too? It's odd, as the trigger() method should put POST as the argument, so I'm not sure where its going missing.

@benjamin-tang-pusher Yes, you are right.

I found the problem and fixed it.

The @request_method is unnecessary because the send_to_user is only a wrapper calling the trigger.

Now, the code is fixed and working.

Please let me know if you have any other problems.

Whoops, I forgot about that decorator. I gave it another test and it works now.

I will ask the team to review it.
