Django Rest Auth password reset link contains html codes

Question

I am using Django REST-Auth for user registration. All works fine except for the fact that the password reset link contains "%20" and "%0A" html codes which yield the token not usable without manually adjusting it before POST. Sample link from the email received:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/password-reset/confirm/MTY0MjM0MGMtNGEyMi00ZmY5LWE3YzgtNDdiOGM2M2ViYzIy/%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%205d9-2e76cc7a3bc99cf6f1ed/

I've tried overriding the PasswordResetSerializer etc. but nothing so far has helped to resolve the issue. Package versions as follows.

Django                         3.0.2     
django-rest-auth               0.9.5     
djangorestframework            3.11.0

Anyone know where this is coming from and how to fix it?

Thanks, this is clear. But where do these whitespaces come from, what part of the rest auth sets them into the link? — TJA

There is a chance that your urls_patterns = [] is not correct for this view.
