I am not getting the difference between HttpResponse n HttpResponseRedirect
HttpResponseRedirectis meant to send a 3xx HTTP code and redirectto another URL (that is, the response is a redirect header).
It is actually a subclass of
HttpResponse, and can be used as a shortcutfor redirects.
HttpResponse, on the other hand is the main response object, where you canset headers / body, etc (and is what you usually use for sending a rendered
template and so on — ok, render_to_response also does that, but it is a
shortcut function).
