Looks like it should work, since that's how HttpResponseRedirect is used, but a couple of things to check: Are you sure it's really getting to that last line and not returning somewhere earlier? Does request.META['HTTP_REFERER'] contain something sensible? This won't be the cause of the problem, but it's worth checking. If you trim it down to just returning the redirect instance and/or hard-code in the string to redirect to, does the error go away? Something in the bits you have waved your hands over is causing the problem here, by the looks of it. So start weeding out as much as you can until it starts working and then it you might get a few more clues as to what is going on.
