Every Django view function MUST return an HttpResponse object, sometimes we just want to send data to the server and don't want to send data back to the client , this probably lead Python users want to return None instead, however , this is not allowed in Django view function, I found HttpResponse(status=204) <https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10> may come for rescue in this case, thus it would be better to include HttpResponse(status=204) as an HttpResponse subclasses for convenience so that could save Django users from asking those returning-null-response questions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17557618/post-without-response-in-django-javascript-interaction http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2131203/django-no-redirections http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4123155/how-do-i-send-empty-response-in-django-without-templates
BTW, someone already implemented this feature here, better to adopt it in Django http://django-extras.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/http-response.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
