Often times, when it seems like something should exist, it's useful to operate on the assumption that it does, and go looking for it. In this case, request.META is a glorified dictionary, and dictionaries have a get() method: http://docs.python.org/lib/typesmapping.html So you can use request.META.get('somekey', 'defaultvalue') Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
