Django custom handler404 shows 404 but gives header 200

Question

I made a custom handler404 for a authenticated Django website to avoid information leakage.

def check_logged_in_404(request):
    \"\"\" Custom 404. Show fr         


        

Answer 1

I'd use render_to_string and HttpResponseNotFound, e.g. return HttpResponseNotFound(render_to_string('404.html')).
