Bug in Django? It throws server error when context processor raises Http404

[Alexey Grigoriev]

Django doesn't catch django.http.Http404 exception in my context processor when Debug=False and when I have custom '404.html' template. It just throws Internal Server Error. Is it Django bug?

[Galia Ladiray]

Maybe it does not find your custom 404.html (and gives you a 500 of not finding it)?

Try to use this template elsewhere with debug=True, just to see ....

[Kapil Mangtani]

have you written the handler correctly?

[Alexey Grigoriev]

I found this issue in my big project. And then I started new Django project from scratch, and reproduced the problem. 

You can reproduce this bug: 

1) start new Django project

2) create context processor that raises Http404 

3) set Debug=False 

4) create custom '404.html' template

And then you get Server Error Page, instead of 404 page

Please create a bug report and attach the code for your test project. That way, it's easier for everyone to reproduce.
