Well I just tested and it definitely works for me: with your original function
def search(request):
if 'q' in request.GET:
message = 'U zocht: %r' % request.GET['q']
else:
message = 'Leeg'
return HttpResponse(message)
here are the results:
http://localhost:8000/search => Leeg
http://localhost:8000/search?q= => U zocht: u''
http://localhost:8000/search?q=foo => U zocht: u'foo'
while with the alteration I suggested
def search(request):
if request.GET.get('q'):
message = 'U zocht: %r' % request.GET['q']
else:
message = 'Leeg'
return HttpResponse(message)
the results are:
http://localhost:8000/search => Leeg
http://localhost:8000/search?q= => Leeg
http://localhost:8000/search?q=foo => U zocht: u'foo'
