Just use RequestContext instead of Context when passing context to
templates to be rendered.
Like:
return render_to_response("my_app/my_template.html", {"some_var":
"foo"},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
or:
return render_to_response("my_app/my_template.html",
RequestContext(request, {"some_var": "foo"})
And yes, Alias is the way to go in Apache configuration. Probably
mod_rewrite would work, too.
