How to redirect to previous page in Django after POST request

Question

I face a problem which I can\'t find a solution for. I have a button in navbar which is available on all pages and it is a button responsible for creating some content.

You can use the HTTP_REFERER value:

return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', '/'))

Note that this will not work if the client disabled sending referrer information (for example, using a private/incognito browser Window). In such a case it will redirect to /.
