Django referrer question

Question

I want to know who refers my webpage, so in my models I have:

referrer = models.CharField(max_length=30, default='google',
        verbose_name=_('referrer'), help_text=_('Referrer'))

This are the URL's for my page:

url(r'^$', app_views.index, name='index_default')

and

url(r'^(\w+)/$', app_views.index, name='index_default2')

I want to send my referrer parameter to the flash embeddeded within my HTML along flashvars:

< param name="FlashVars" value="referrer={{ referrer }}" />

How should the view look like in order to catch the referrer matched with the regular expression? Something like

def index(request):
    return render_to_response('index.html',
            {
            'referrer':referrer,
            },
            context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Answer 1

in the meta dictionary of request there is a HTTP_REFERER value .. I think that can help you
