"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... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
