 <p>Piston loads a http status response via <code>utils.rc</code>, no errors are raised.</p> <p>from the documentation:</p> <pre><code>Configuration variables Piston is configurable in a couple of ways, which allows more granular control of some areas without editing the code. Setting Meaning settings.PISTON_EMAIL_ERRORS If (when) Piston crashes, it will email the administrators a backtrace (like the Django one you see during DEBUG = True) settings.PISTON_DISPLAY_ERRORS Upon crashing, will display a small backtrace to the client, including the method signature expected. settings.PISTON_STREAM_OUTPUT When enabled, Piston will instruct Django to stream the output to the client, but please read streaming before enabling it. </code></pre> <p>I'd recommend to setup a logger, <a href="http://sentry.readthedocs.org/en/latest/" rel="nofollow">sentry</a> together with <a href="http://raven.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config/django.html" rel="nofollow">raven</a> is rather convenient and you get to configure your own log level and handler.</p>
