How to get the previous URL from a POST in Django

by

You can do that by using request.META['HTTP_REFERER'], but it will exist if only your tab previous page was from your website, else there will be no HTTP_REFERER in META dict. So be careful and make sure that you are using .get() notation instead.

# Returns None if user came from another website
request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER')

Note: I gave this answer when Django 1.10 was an actual release. I’m not working with Django anymore, so I can’t tell if this applies to Django 2
