I'm not super familiar with the way backbone does http requests, but
something seems off about the startExport function.
It seems to me that you are sending a post request to "/export_report/"
which is an endpoint that I'm guessing is nested
in an include from "/api/trend_reports/". However, it looks like the error
you're getting above says you aren't sending
the request to "https://root.com/api/trend_reports/export_report/".
Instead, you are sending the request to "https://root.com/export_report/" .
Though, I'm also not sure that's the case because that would normally throw
a 404.

I also noticed that you set content type to 'application/json' in your js,
but the view function returns a 'text/plain' content type. Is
There a reason for this?

The data key in your js http function is set to the attributes variable
which, as far as I can tell, does not exist.

There's a lot going on here, but I think you can probably narrow it down to
something in your backbone code or the way
backbone handles http requests as the error you are getting is caused by
the client prematurely closing the socket.
It's possible backbone will stop reading the response since it isn't the
same content-type as the request.
