Django: redirect to the same url with an appended querystring

Question

How to I redirect to the same url but append a query_string to it? ie. redirect from "base.com/amt" to "base.com/amt/?ref=blah&id=blah"

urls.py

url(r'^amt/$', RedirectView.as_view(reverse_lazy('amt')), {'SSL':True}),
url(r'^amt/?ref_source=AMT&ref_id=PC', 'core.views.show_amt_page', {'SSL':True}, name='amt'),

in this case I want to go from "^amt/$" to "^amt/?ref_source=AMT..."

Once the redirect is done, I need to execute show_amt_page() int views.py

If there's a better way to do it, can someone explain how that can be done so django executes show_amt_page() in views.py?

The query string is not part of the url definition, so your second url is useless. — Shang Wang

The query string is not handled by the url patterns, therefore you can only have one url pattern for /amt/, which will handle requests with and without the get parameters.

url(r'^amt/', 'core.views.show_amt_page', {'SSL':True}, name='amt'),

In the show_amt_page view, you can check for the get parameters in request.GET, and return a redirect response if necessary.

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def show_amt_page(request, SSL):
    if 'ref_source' not in request.GET:
        return redirect('amt/?ref_source=AMT&ref_id=PC')
    # rest of view goes here
    ...

in urls.py

...

    url(r'^$', pages.home, name='home'),
...

Function tu build an urls with GET parameters

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http.response import HttpResponseRedirect
def build_url(*args, **kwargs):
    get = kwargs.pop('get', {})
    url = reverse(*args, **kwargs)
    if get:
        url += '?' + urllib.urlencode(get)
    return url

Use example

return HttpResponseRedirect(build_url('home', get={'ref_source': 'AMT','ref_id':'PC'}))

return HttpResponseRedirect(build_url('home', get={'opcion': '1'}))
