#12747: Custom HTTP status reason phrases are not supported
------------------------------------------------------------------------+---
Reporter: Gustavo |

Status: new |
Milestone: 1.2
Component: HTTP handling |
Version: 1.1
Keywords: http status, http status reason, http status reason phrase |
Stage: Unreviewed

------------------------------------------------------------------------+---
At present, Django hard-codes the ''HTTP status reason phrases'' based on
an integer that represents the ''HTTP status code'', forcing the
recommended phrases by the HTTP specification.
Note they are just the recommended/default phrases and developers should
be allowed to override these phrases. For example, I may want to return
the following and Django should allow me to do so:
{{{
403 Get out
}}}
Or,
{{{
200 Everything is fine
}}}
See: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html#sec6.1.1
In order to support this, Django could have the following code in
''django.http:HttpResponse.__init!__'':
{{{
if isinstance(status, basestring):
# The status is given as a real HTTP status header, so we
should
# tell the code and the reason apart for Django:
(status_code, status_reason) = status.split(" ", 1)
status_code = int(status_code)
self.status_reason = status_reason or None
else:
# The status has been given the old way supported by Django,
simply
# the status code as an integer:
status_code = status
self.status_reason = None
}}}
And the following on
''django.core.handlers.wsgi:WSGIHandler.__call!__()'':
{{{
if response.status_reason:
status_text = "%s %s" % (response.status_code,
response.status_reason)
else:
try:
status_text = STATUS_CODE_TEXT[response.status_code]
except KeyError:
status_text = 'UNKNOWN STATUS CODE'
}}}
If any Django user wants to use this functionality before it gets
implemented, they may use twod.wsgi:
