What you're missing is that elements after the ? are *not* part of the
URL - they are part of the querystring. These are passed through into
the view and can be accessed via request.GET.
In any case, for a blanket redirect like that, you would be better off
doing it directly via Apache (or whatever your webserver software is),
rather than invoking Django each time.
