"Redirect" probably isn't the word you wanted there. If you really
meant "How do I make my view function display the contents of an
arbitrary HTML file?", the answer is:
def showvarfile(request):
return HttpResponse(open('/var/file').read())
As you can see, it's your own Python code reading the file's contents
and sending it back to the browser. So this works even if '/var/file'
isn't in a directory that your webserver is serving. That comes with
some caveats, of course -- it's usually not the best way to do things,
and is not as efficient as just letting the webserver serve it -- but
I think that's what you were asking for...
