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

Why don't you just use Http404 exception?

if request.user.is_authenticated():
    raise Http404
else:
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/login')

That should be just fine for you.
