Currently, our Django FileUploadValidation Middleware only returns HttpResponseBadRequest when it encounters a problem with a file upload. This behavior can be restrictive and may not suit all use cases in modern web applications. This issue proposes enhancements to make our response handling more flexible and adaptable to various needs.
Current Behavior
The middleware processes file uploads in POST requests.
If an issue is detected (e.g., file validation fails), the middleware returns HttpResponseBadRequest.
There's no option to customize this behavior or handle different scenarios in more nuanced ways.
Proposed Improvements
Configurable Response Types: Allow developers to configure the type of response the middleware should return in case of different types of upload errors. This could include options for different HTTP status codes or custom response messages.
Detailed Error Information: Instead of a generic error response, the middleware could provide detailed error messages or codes. This information can help frontend applications to better inform users about the specific issue with their upload.
