Message exception
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.

HttpResponseRedirectView - Redirect to a view
This is a quick shortcut to redirect the user to a view. The main gain is avoiding having to type 'from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse' every time you want to do a redirect!

PermanentRedirectMiddleware
This is a simple middleware that redirects the exactly URL requested with the correct domain. It is useful when you have more than one domain (most of cases with "www." or IP) to access a website. To make it works, download the snippet file as the name "permanent_redirect.py" and add its path as the first item in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting in settings.py. Later you must inform a setting called `HTTP_HOST_DOMAIN` with the correct domain.

SSL Redirect Middleware and testing
While we're on the topic of SSLRedirect (See snippet 240 and 880) here's what I add to the end of my ssl middleware module, so that SSLRedirect wont break my automated testing. It simply creates a dummy middleware class that removes the SSL argument, but does not do any redirecting. If you were to simply remove the middleware from settings, the extra SSL argument will then get passed on to all the relevant views. Of course, you'll need to define a TESTING variable in settings, or change this to something else like settings.DEBUG. Having the separate variable for testing allows you to run your server in DEBUG mode without side effects like the change above.

SSL Redirect Middleware
Snippet 240 is great, but it does not handle flatpages since flatpages are not technically a view. This operates on the request level, not the view level so it will handle flat pages. **Step 1** Add this class to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES **Step 2** Add an entry in settings.py which is a list of regex to match against urls that u want to have ssl: SSL_URLS = ( r'/login/', r'/home/', r'/super-sensitive-information/', )

URL redirects middleware
Sometimes you need to make redirects that involve domains, you can't define those on the site urls, this middleware lets you define multiple redirects on your site settings. Note: *You also can use the web server to do this, but I have found this middleware a useful tool to quickly or temporarily define redirects*. Depending on your needs you may also find useful [snippet 434](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/434/).

Redirect Multiple Domains to a Single Domain
Often, you may register more than one domain name for your website, which may have a primary domain of *mysite.com.au*: 1. mysite.com 2. my-site.com 3. mysite.net 4. mysite.co.uk For SEO and brand awareness reasons, (remember: every page should have exactly one URL) you want every visitor to end up on your primary domain, *mysite.com.au*. This middleware checks the HTTP_HOST for all incoming requests, and sends the user to http://www.mysite.com.au/ if they've managed to hit another domain.

Compact idiom for legacy URLs in URLconfs
Taken from the [longer description on my blog][1]: > One of the great things about Django is its simple and flexible URL handling. If your Django work, like mine, includes converting existing sites, you’ll probably be doing some URL cleanup along the way... Just plug your old/new URL pairs into `redirects`.
