Thanks necmettin, The XMLHTTPRequest might be a good way forward, and I will probably end up using it. The reason I was trying the other method was that in point 2.19 in the mod_python FAQ (http://www.modpython.org/FAQ/faqw.py?req=all#2.19) it suggests forcing an Apache error as a very simple method of returning nothing to the browser, so I was trying this first.
