Response

Error

From HTTP status code to return by a service for a validation failure:

from django.http import HttpResponseBadRequest
return HttpResponseBadRequest("The data is invalid.")

Also see Django HttpResponse subclasses…

Redirect

For an example of a standard re-direct, see Cookies.
Using the shortcut function:
```
from django.shortcuts import redirect
return redirect('feature_index')
```
Note: In this example, feature_index is the name of a view.

Security

from django.http import HttpResponseForbidden
return HttpResponseForbidden("Sorry, you are not allowed in this section.")

Template

from django.shortcuts import render

def popup(request):
    context_dict = {
        'first_name': 'Bill',
        'last_name': 'Smith',
    }
    return render(
        request,
        'blog/info.html',
        context_dict
    )

Text

To return a simple text response (default status 200):

from django.http import HttpResponse

def save(request):
    return HttpResponse('OK')
