Question

I have the downlaod link in my Django view , where the user can download the pdf forms. But i also need to
grab the all the URL parameters passed with the link.

I mean if user click on

http://www.abc.com/download then the simple pdf form will be downloaded

but i use click on

http://www.abc.com/download?var1=20&var2=30&var3=40

Then i need to get those parameters with their name and fill in fields.

That arguments can vary so i can’t hard code those in view

Answer 1

def my_view(request):
    get_args = request.GET #dict of arguments from a get request (like your example)
    post_args = request.POST #dict of arguments from a post request
    all_args = requst.REQUEST #dict of arguments regardless of request type.

Edit:
Based on your comment, you must be new to python.

Here are a few ways to access the items in your dictionary.

#This method will throw an exception if the key is not in the dict.
get_args['var1'] #represents the value for that key, in this case '20'

#This method will return None if the key is not in the dict.
get_args.get('var2') #represents the value for that key, in this case '30'

Or you could loop over the dict:

for key,val in get_args.items():
    do_something(val)
