Hi, I am confused on how to best use the post/redirect/get pattern for the following problem:
Part of the application I am writing is a basic file manager, i.e. it lists directory contents to users and lets users download files or upload a file to the directory. Upon upload the file is renamed (to include date and user) and then saved to disk, users that need to be informed receive an email that a new file was uploaded. My basic idea would be to use the same URL and view/template for getting the directory listing and posting a file for uploading to it. If a file is uploaded successfully the renamed file name and the users that received the email should be listed in a notification part of the template (i.e. <div class="notice">...) which confirms to the user that everything is ok. Now I am stuck on how to best do this. POST/REDIRECT/GET does not seem to fit here, since HttpResponseRedirect cannot pass any parameters to a template and redirecting to the same URL does not make sense anyway. What other pattern could/should I use? Right now I am just doing a render_to_response with the same template, regardless of whether it is a first GET of the page or the POST for the file upload. Of course this means once a file was uploaded and the notification is displayed any refresh of the will give you a browser warning about resending data which I would like to avoid. Any suggestions?
