The default 500 handler does not take into consideration if the HTTP request made is an XMLHttpRequest. If it's an XHR, then it may not be a good idea to send back your default 500 HTML page.

To use this custom 500 handler, just add the following to your urls.py:

handler500 = 'my_project.my_app.views.my_500'

1

def my_500(request):
    if request.META.get('HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH') == 'XMLHttpRequest':
        return HttpResponse("")
    else:
        return render_to_response("500.html",{},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
