Hay, i was wondering how to get the current URL within a template.
Say my URL was
/user/profile/
How do i return this to the template?
Thanks
Can i get it without passing the 'request' variable to the template?

I believe request is always passed to the template... if not, render_to_response('template.html',{},context_instance=RequestContext(request)) .. at that point, request is definitely passed in.

Bascially i'm making a 'logout' function which redirects back to the page they were on when a 'logout' button is clicked. I was going to append the current URL to the query string.

Just use request.path then

I decided to use request.META['HTTP_REFERER'] to redirect them.

Be warned that HTTP_REFERRER isn't always reliable. Many of the "Internet Security Suites" will remove that variable. It is probably worth it to ensure that your site still works even when there isn't a referrer, using something like `request.META.get('HTTP_REFERRER', '/')` or similar.
