Can i rise 404 from my middleware ?

[Mirat Can Bayrak]

Question is simple. i tried to use raise Http404 from middleware and that is not working.

My middleware is :

import urlparse
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
from django.http import Http404

class GetSubdomainMiddleware:
def process_request(self, request):
site = Site.objects.filter(domain__exact = request.META['HTTP_HOST'])
if site:
bits = urlparse.urlsplit(request.META['HTTP_HOST'])[2].split('.')
request.subdomain = bits[0]
else:
raise Http404

Right now there is a bug in django's middleware where it doesn't
correct catch exceptions: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6094.

Don't raise an exception. A 404 exception is eventually turned into an
HttpResponse with the appropriate status code, so construct one manually
and return that from the middleware. Once you return a response, no
further processing happens (for request middleware). That's one of the
major points about middleware.
