I was fascinated by Andrew Wooster's Fun With HTTP Headers post and I decided that Django should do something cool with its HTTP headers too. So, I banged these middlewares together to add a simple (and utterly useless) X-Djazzified-By and X-Now-Playing response header to all pages served by Django. Just a subtle way of showing your Django-fanship.

X-Djazzified-By:

PLAIN TEXT
PYTHON:
  1. class Djazzify(object):
  2. """
  3. Adds a Django Djazzified header to requests.
  4. """
  5. def process_response(self, request, response):
  6. # thought about including version info, but decided it was better not to leak this
  7. response['X-Djazzified-By'] = "Django"
  8. return response

X-Now-Playing:

PLAIN TEXT
PYTHON:
  1. class NowPlaying(object):
  2. """
  3. Adds a Now-Playing song from a list of Django songs.
  4. """
  5. def process_response(self, request, response):
  6.  
  7. # do this here so that people only using Djazzify don't get this unnecessarily.
  8. from random import sample
  9.  
  10. # list of tunes from http://www.djangomusic.com/item_music.asp?id=R+++329540&dt=2&cid=&sid=&mediatype=
  11. tunes = [ "St. Louis Blues", "After You've Gone"
  12. "Nagasaki", "Swing Guitars", "Exactly Like You", "Solitude",
  13. "You're Driving Me Crazy", "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Rose Room",
  14. "Chicago", "Minor Swing", "Swingin' with Django", "Lambeth Walk",
  15. "Swing '39", "Japanese Sandman", "Nuages", ]
  16.  
  17. response['X-Now-Playing'] = sample( tunes, 1 )[ 0 ]
  18. return response

Hmm... rejected - too facetious, I guess
