Preston, thanks for pointing this out. You're right about the url
being hardcoded and the prefix not being passed. I played around with
your request.META['SCRIPT_NAME'] suggestion. I can't figure out how
to pass the initial 'script_name' to the poll_detail before trying to
vote. In other words, it seems like I would need to include
'script_name' in the context passed to the generic view
(object_detail) before it can properly be used in the form.
If I add an {% if script_name %} in the poll_detail template or just a
{{ script_name }}, it would need to be rendered before accessing the
vote view. Maybe you can ellaborate on your method of getting django
to recognize the prefix. Portability is looking difficult at this
point. Thanks to all for your help.
