Cheers, thanks all for the valuable suggestions. Much appreciated :) Hmm, plenty of options and lots to think about. Interesting to hear what others are doing regards this scenario :) Ok will soak up all the info and have a play around with suggestions. Thanks again :) On Thursday, 15

Since you explicitly want to return a JSON error (and not adapt a response for the path) I can offer another strategy (which i use). This is from memory so the code may need some tweaking. (working from home today and don't have the source) 1. Define a custom class for JSON exceptions:

At first I always raised HTTPException's to make them more obvious un the Python code. But after having problems with HTTPNotFound and HTTPForbidden for similar reasons as yours (although not regarding JSON), I switched to returning them. The only time I raise HTTPException views now is if I'm in

Cheers Mike thanks for the suggestion :) Interesting point regarding performance overhead of raising the exception. H. Now swaying towards RETURN HTTPNotFound for missing database record and using a custom notfound view to return JSON for missing request-URI. Thanks for all suggestions

Cheers Michael. Thanks for responding :) Can't seem to locate where request is favouring HTML over application/json. I have tested using curl request to set the accept and content-type headers as follows: curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
