I want to respond images with Django

I want Django to display an image when accessed. For example, I want to display only the image as a response, such as when accessing the image below. And I want to do the URL as a normal URL without using .jpeg or .png.

Sample:

sample

But now, no matter what method you try, it doesn't work.

from django.http import HttpResponse
import os
from django.core.files import File
import codecs


def image(request):
    file_name = os.path.join(
        os.path.dirname(__file__),
        '12.jpg'
    )
    try:
        with open(file_name, "rb") as f:
            a = f.read()
            return HttpResponse(a, content_type="image/jpeg")
    except IOError:
        red = Image.new('RGBA', (1, 1), (255, 0, 0, 0))
        response = HttpResponse(content_type="image/jpeg")
        red.save(response, "JPEG")
        return response




urlpatterns = [
    url('image', image)
]

With the above code, the following error occurs.

'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: invalid start byte

The cause was my own middleware. There was no problem if I commented out. Thanks for those who have comments and those who have answered.

Simply use FileResponse:

from django.http import FileResponse

def image(response):
    img = open('path/to/12.jpg', 'rb')
    response = FileResponse(img)
    return response
