copied!<p>I have addressed this by creating a generic view class, based on Django's own generic.View class, that defines a decorator 'accept_types'. This modifies the view to which it is applied so that it returns None if the indicated content-type is not in the Accept header. Then, the get() method (which is called by the generic.View dispatcher) looks like this:</p> <pre><code>def get(self, request): self.request = request # For clarity: generic.View does this anyway resultdata = { 'result': data, etc. } return ( self.render_uri_list(resultdata) or self.render_html(resultdata) or self.error(self.error406values()) ) </code></pre> <p>The actual view renderers are decorated thus:</p> <pre><code>@ContentNegotiationView.accept_types(["text/uri-list"]) def render_uri_list(self, resultdata): resp = HttpResponse(status=200, content_type="text/uri-list") # use resp.write(...) to assemble rendered response body return resp @ContentNegotiationView.accept_types(["text/html", "application/html", "default_type"]) def render_html(self, resultdata): template = loader.get_template('rovserver_home.html') context = RequestContext(self.request, resultdata) return HttpResponse(template.render(context)) </code></pre> <p>The (one-off) generic view class that declares the decorator looks like this:</p> <pre><code>class ContentNegotiationView(generic.View): """ Generic view class with content negotiation decorators and generic error value methods Note: generic.View dispatcher assigns HTTPRequest object to self.request. """ @staticmethod def accept_types(types): """ Decorator to use associated function to render the indicated content types """ def decorator(func): def guard(self, values): accept_header = self.request.META.get('HTTP_ACCEPT',"default_type") accept_types = [ a.split(';')[0].strip().lower() for a in accept_header.split(',') ] for t in types: if t in accept_types: return func(self, values) return None return guard return decorator </code></pre> <p>(The parameter handling in the decorator should be generalized - this code works, but is still in development as I write this. The actual code is in GitHub at <a href="https://github.com/wf4ever/ro-manager/tree/develop/src/roverlay/rovweb/rovserver" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/wf4ever/ro-manager/tree/develop/src/roverlay/rovweb/rovserver</a>, but in due course should be separated to a separate package. HTH.)</p>
