When I want to select objects with a get() function like personalProfile = World.objects.get(ID=personID) If get function doesn't return find a value, a "matching query does not exist." error occurs.

In my Django application I want to keep track of whether a response has been sent to the client successfully. I am well aware that there is no "watertight" way in a connectionless protocol like HTTP to ensure the client has received (and displayed) a response, so this will not be mission-critical functionality, but still I want to do this at the latest possible time. The response will not be HTML so any callbacks from the client (using Javascript or IMG tags etc.) are not possible. The "latest" hook I can find would be adding a custom middleware implementing process_response at the first
