Thanks for the input.
I am narrowing down the issue. Basically, If i try to place a copy of
the request.POST data into the session, nothing will get stored:
i.e.
--
post_copy = request.POST.copy()
request.session['form_post_data'] = post_copy
return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META['HTTP_REFERER'])
--
After this
request.session.keys() returns [] (an empty list)
if I do:
post_copy = request.POST.copy()
request.session['form_post_data'] = post_copy
print request.session.get('form_post_data')
return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META['HTTP_REFERER'])
this outputs:
--
<QueryDict: {u'comment': [u''], u'user_name': [u''], u'user_email':
[u''], u'user_url': [u'']}>
--
However, it it still not actually saved and available during a seperate
request.
