django - is_authenticated returns True for logged out user -

i'm writing server app using django, django rest framework, django-rest-auth , django-allauth. have method that's used pass messages between users, , should happen when receiver logged in.

however, seems user object's is_authenticated() method returns true though user has logged out (called rest-auth/logout/, should in turn call django's logout). cause this? there i've missed here?

here's code have:

class sendmessage(generics.createapiview):     permission_classes = (permissions.isauthenticated,)     serializer_class = messageserializer      def perform_create(self, serializer):         m = self.request.data['msg']         targetuser = user.objects.get(pk = self.request.data['user'])          if targetuser.is_authenticated():             # send message         else:             # don't send message 

unfortunately, is_authenticated() method returns true.

 def is_authenticated(self):     """     return true. way tell if user has been     authenticated in templates.     """     return true 

it meant discern between user instance , anonymoususer instance, user set when not pass authentication.
