You can, if you really want to. The only difference between HttpResponse and HttpResponseForbidden is the status_code, so you can just set the status_code attribute on the result of render_to_response (which is an HttpResponse) to whatever you want. However, I can't for the life of me think why you'd want to do this. render_to_response is used, as the name implies, to render a template and return it as an HttpResponse. In the case of 404 and 301 etc you don't need a template, surely. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
