Question

I have a website powered by django. There are few url patterns which i donot catch
say www.mysite.com/12233445 www.mysite.com/@##$$$ www.mysite.com/alphabetagamma this leads to 500 error page, i want all such non-standard urls to redirect to 404 error page. Any clue which is the best method of doing it?

Answer 1

go to your views, perform all the get/filter operations within a try except block.

try:

variable = object.get(some checks here)

except: object.DoesNotExist
 raise Http404

return (whatever)
