It probably needs some more thought and may be to 'magical', but how about something like this: ---------- POST /some/url - store POST/GET data as /tmp/78fsd8fasdf7ad8asaf7889sdf - log error message, send email to admin - redirect to /some/url/?cm_data_id=78fsd8fasdf7ad8asaf7889sdf ---------- GET /some/url/?cm_data_id=78fsd8fasdf7ad8asaf7889sdf - load POST/GET data from /tmp/78fsd8fasdf7ad8asaf7889sdf, populate POST/GET dicts with it - remove cm_data_id from GET variables - delete /tmp/78fsd8fasdf7ad8asaf7889sdf - log message that data has been picked up I believe you do something similar in the admin when a session is expired and you redirect to the login form. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
