I have a Django admin action called "Email selected members". Check some members and click the Go button and the user's mail program is opened. The emails of the selected members have been pre-entered.
This works by a Django HttpResponseRedirect(uri) with the uri being "mailto:email1,email2..
where the addresses email1, email2 ... were looked up on the server.
The only problem is that that the browser re-directs to a blank page as well a opening the client mail program.
Is there any way to avoid this?

This question is a little old, but I just went through this and I think I can help anyone looking for an answer in the future.
I ran into this problem because the website I was building had a built-in tracking system that tracked the URLs of outbound links for self-hosted ads. If I don't redirect, there is no way (without changing the way it was implemented) to track the click, since I'm not using an API or anything.
The easy fix was to do what you did, sending back an HttpResponse() whose content is the meta tag
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=mailto:youremail#test.com" />
This causes the page to refresh on load, which triggers the mailto: action.
Now we're left with an open window, but we can't close the window using Javascript's window.close() method. I do believe that this solution should work, however. Call that Javascript function after the refresh has been successful.
Unfortunately, I haven't tested this, but these two methods should accomplish a mailto: redirect that does not leave a blank window/tab behind.
Hope this helps!
Don't use HttpResponseRedirect. Just make the mailto: line a link. Email selected members
I don't think it is possible. RFC 2616 says re 302 redirect:
The temporary URI SHOULD be given by
the Location field in the response.
Unless the request method was HEAD,
the entity of the response SHOULD
contain a short hypertext note with a
hyperlink to the new URI(s)
So the blank page that I see is the (very) short hypertext note. The browser gets the redirect instruction, pops up a temporary page with the redirect message, then retrieves the redirected URL. But with a mailto: URL the temporary page obviously remains.

When posting a link on Facebook, after setting the open graph meta tags (e.g. og:title, og:image) it successfully shows a link preview as I intend it to. However after shortening the link with bit.ly, when I post it on Facebook the link preview becomes "301 moved permanently" with no image. I get the same with tinyurl, are there any specific tags I should be adding here? I have tried refreshing with the sharing debugger, re crawling, trying iterations of the url with http and https and it's all the same result with the short url
Answering my own question here for all those in the future who may also have this problem,
I had to actually go into my site settings and turn https redirecting off, and enable both http and https
In the past I used the Post/Redirect/Get pattern:
the html for was submitted to the server via POST
the server processed the data.
if everything was ok, the server responsed with a http 302 (redirect
the client redirected the page to the new location.
Is this still needed if you submit html fragments via htmx?
By and large no, you will not need to implement the PRG pattern.
Since htmx uses AJAX for most interactions, there is no request sitting in the browser history, and hitting refresh will not re-submit a POST (or DELETE or whatever).
That said, htmx trys to be compatible with the PRG pattern, and tries to update the URL if a redirect occurs by detecting the :

If you do something like inline editing:

The point becomes moot to a large extent, since you can have the edit UI at the same URL as the view URL.
Am using django-oscar-paypal for my new project,once i do the payment it successfully takes me
to paypal sandbox site,after clicking continue button the page is redirected to
URL shown:
https://site.com/checkout/paypal/preview/63/?token=EC-9DM94343UB249654R&PayerID=SDH6FPG9CK72L
This page shows 'SSL Connection error'.How do i remove https from the link.
How do i fix this??Need Help
I just need to remove https from the link,i think that might work,how do i remove that.If this is some other issues.PLease provide help
The ReturnURL is set in the SetExpressCheckout request, so you just need to adjust it there.
Looking at https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-paypal/blob/master/paypal/express/gateway.py you can see it's using a variable called "return_url". Just need to find where that is getting set and adjust it accordingly.
I am confused about how cookies are set. It seems that cookies can be sent in the request header, even after I have deleted them all.
What I do:
In IE: delete all cookies (wrench-thing->safety->delete browsing history-> check all, except preserve favorites-> Delete)
Go to random site (google.com) and open the Network tab (F12/Network) - because it won't open from blank tab.
Make sure browsing history persists (tools-> clear entries on navigate-> uncheck both)
Click "Start capturing"
Go to site: http://www.klm.com/travel/dk_da/index.htm
Look at Network data. For the first url (http://www.klm.com/travel/dk_da/index.htm ), click "Go to detailed view". Click "cookies"
I look at the cookie that is being sent (in Cookies tab or under 'Request headers') and it's already sending 7 values, for example, EBT_JSESSIONID. But, where do these values come from? I haven't received anything at this point. I realize that cookies can be set via javascript, but I haven't loaded any js at this point either.
I am trying to figure this out as part of webscrabing. Really want to be able to do it without Selenium or the like, and need to generate/use the various IDs that are being passed around the various calls.
Using chrome in Mac we had this issue and restarting the browser did solve the issue. The scenario was weird because the value was being sent only for one specific HTML.
I have two pages on two different domains example1.blogspot.com (a Blogspot blog) and example2.com (my own domain, static page). Both pages contain an iframe which loads the same document from a third domain, example.org. The iframe's document contains a small JS web app which calls example.org via AJAX, one of the calls is a POST request and the server sets a cookie with the response.
Upon reloading the pages, the cookie on example1.com seems gone, i.e. jQuery's $.cookie() returns null. On example2.com, everything is fine. This happens only in IE7 - IE6, Safari and Firefox all behave as expected. What's wrong with IE7?
Thanks, Simon
edit:
Oh well, stupid me ;-) It looks like I have a race condition between some event handlers and a window.setTimeout call when deciding whether to check for cookies...sorry!
So if $.cookie() returns null, What does document.cookie show? Also have you taken a look in IE7's list of cookies to see if the cookie is actually there? Also check that PATH and DOMAIN settings on the cookie are correct.
