This exception is util when you want to raise an exception but want its message be shown as a message to the user, with no error 500 or 404 pages.

To use it, just append the middleware in the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting and raises HttpMessage when necessary.

It can go in infinite loop. May be some query string parameter can be used to circumvent that.

This recipe catches all errors. "except HttpMessage" is missing in process_exception().
