Message exception

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

class HttpMessageMiddleware(object):
    def process_exception(self, request, exception):
        if request.user.is_authenticated():
            request.user.message_set.create(message=unicode(exception))
            return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', '/'))

class HttpMessage(Exception):
    pass

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().
