The argument to HttpResponseRedirect is a url. You seem to be confusing
it with a template. If you want to display different content, you need
to pass a different url or (not recommended) store the data you want to
display, then display it to the user at the new url
But if you have the data available, there is no reason to do a redirect.
Just render the error message etc to the relevant template, then return
that to the user.
