Absolutely.
You should ensure that request.META['HTTP_REFERER'] doesn't redirect
to a different domain name that happens to map to the same
application. For example, if you set the session in a view at
http://127.0.0.1/myview/ and that view redirects to http://localhost/myview2/,
you will not be able to access the previous session.
