Suppose you've just processed posted form data and successfully added
a new item to the database.  Now you return HttpResponseRedirect('/
items/') (I know, you should use a pattern name not an absolute URL
here) to display the list of items, including the newly added item.

But, suppose you want to prefix the list of items with a message,
e.g., "Congratulations, your item was successfully added.".  If you
were returning render_to_response('item_list.html"), you could pass in
a dictionary {"message": message}, and the template could display the
variable message if it is not empty.

How can you do something similar when using HttpResponseRedirect()?

Or am I thinking about this problem the wrong way?

Thanks.
