How do I get POST variables in my template

[tonemcd]

Hi all,
This is probably going to sound really silly, but when I'm debugging, I
just can't easily output the contents of request.POST and request.GET
into my templates.

I have tried this;

    return render_to_response('resources/index', {
                        'request': request,
                        'post': request.POST,
                        'messages': messages,
                        errors': errors },
context_instance=Context(request))

with this

{{ request }}

{{ post }}

and all I get for the post section is this (obviously after I press the
submit button);

<MultiValueDict: {}>

Can anyone point out what's going wrong?
