Question

I’ve a model called urls (see below), how to handle some sort of link does not exists exception if I set verify_exists = True?

If the given link does not exist then this form is being invalid.

class Urls(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 100)
    link = models.URLField(verify_exists = True, verbose_name = u'URI')

    class Meta:
        app_label = 'core'

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title + ': ' + self.link

You will probably need to overwrite the clean() method for that particular field in the form
