[Solved]-Passing a variable in redirect in Django

Remember that redirect() isn’t doing a direct call to your view, it’s actually sending the client’s browser a 302 Found status (301 Moved Permanently if you use permanent=True) with an instruction to redirect to a different URL. In this case, that URL is one that resolves to the getting_started_info view.

I believe that for this to work, there must exist a urlconf which maps to getting_started_view and which uses its location positional argument. This will most likely occur through named groups.

From the django 1.8 docs entry on redirect():

The arguments could be:

• A model: the model’s get_absolute_url() function will be called.
• A view name, possibly with arguments: urlresolvers.reverse will be used to reverse-resolve the name.
• An absolute or relative URL, which will be used as-is for the redirect location.

you may also pass a value of some variable using sessions or cookie.
