From 1ffb8e3cc21603b29ccd78152f82cca7f61a09b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris McDonough Date: Mon, 16 May 2011 02:11:56 -0400 Subject: - Added API docs for ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort`` and ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect``. - Added "HTTP Exceptions" section to Views narrative chapter including a description of ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort``; adjusted redirect section to note ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect``. - A default exception view for the context ``webob.exc.HTTPException`` (aka ``pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPException``) is now registered by default. This means that an instance of any exception class imported from ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` (such as ``HTTPFound``) can now be raised from within view code; when raised, this exception view will render the exception to a response. - New functions named ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort`` and ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect`` perform the equivalent of their Pylons brethren when an HTTP exception handler is registered. These functions take advantage of the newly registered exception view for ``webob.exc.HTTPException``. - The Configurator now accepts an additional keyword argument named ``httpexception_view``. By default, this argument is populated with a default exception view function that will be used when an HTTP exception is raised. When ``None`` is passed for this value, an exception view for HTTP exceptions will not be registered. Passing ``None`` returns the behavior of raising an HTTP exception to that of Pyramid 1.0 (the exception will propagate to middleware and to the WSGI server). --- docs/glossary.rst | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/glossary.rst') diff --git a/docs/glossary.rst b/docs/glossary.rst index e1e9e76a9..797343e5e 100644 --- a/docs/glossary.rst +++ b/docs/glossary.rst @@ -618,6 +618,12 @@ Glossary request processing.
