Django allows<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/http/views/#customizing-error-views>users to define handlers to some exceptions, most notably http404, server error (status 500) and permission denied (status 403).
I here propose this feature to be extended to HttpResponseNotAllowed<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpResponseNotAllowed> (status 405). There main reason is consistency: if django has a way to create such status, it should also allow the developer to handle them. For instance, I was planning to write handlers for some status I raise in views (mainly for debugging during live), and I'm not being able to use the decorator require_http_methods<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/http/decorators/#django.views.decorators.http.require_http_methods> because it emits a status that I cannot handle by myself. Thus, I cannot properly judge if it was triggered by a server semantic error or by a "curious" user.
