Comment:
I agree with Henryk, there should be a clearly defined method to retrieve
the abosulute URI for the the current site/app, using the same logic that
the Apache webserver uses to resolve the server name.
HttpResponseRedirect should parse redirect_to and determine if it is
absolute or relative. If relative, use os.path.join and os.path.normpath
or similar in conjunction with the method specified by Henryk to create
the absolute URI.
FYI, Safari is a picky browser that (correctly) barfs on relative URIs.
