If you want to redirect to the step2 url, then you need to return an
HttpResponseRedirect, not a render_to_response. See the simple view example
flow here:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/#simple-view-example
The usual hiccup people encounter for multi-step forms like this is keeping
state, but you say you have already saved the form1 values as session
variables so you shouldn't run into that problem.
