Custom Error 400/500 page in Django

[Sergiy Smertelny]

There is some strange problem. When I do like this

def error_page(request):
    return HttpResponseBadRequest

it raises My custom error page that I listed in main URLconf. But when I pass and exception there - I got just a blank page with the text of exception. For example, view is something like this:

def error_page(request):
    return HttpResponseBadRequest('The error text')

And I get a blank page with the "The error text" text in body, but not my custom error page. How can I make Django use my Error page Template, but with error text?

I am using Python 3.5 and Django 1.10.4

In your first exemple, you return a class but in your second exemple
you return an instance of the class. That might explain the difference
you notice.

The documentation on HttpResponseBadRequest mention it is used like an
HttpResponse object and part 3 of the django tutorial show how to
render a template in a HttpResponse object:
