For Django  gt  3 I do not change settings or anything  I add the below code in the template file     request path        -without GET parameters     request get full path       - with GET parameters  and in view py pass request variable to the template file  view py  def view node taxon request  cid       showone   get object or 404 models taxon  id   cid      context     showone  showone  request  request      mytemplate    loader get template  taxon node html       html   mytemplate render context      return HttpResponse html

You can fetch the URL in your template like this   lt p gt URL of this page     request get full path    lt  p gt   or by    request path    if you don t need the extra parameters  Some precisions and corrections should be brought to hypete s and Igancio s answers  I ll just summarize the whole idea here  for future reference  If you need the request variable in the template  you must add the  django core context processors request  to the TEMPLATE CONTEXT PROCESSORS settings  it s not by default  Django 1 4   You must also not forget the other context processors used by your applications  So  to add the request to the other default processors  you could add this in your settings  to avoid hard-coding the default processor list  that may very well change in later versions   from django conf global settings import TEMPLATE CONTEXT PROCESSORS as TCP  TEMPLATE CONTEXT PROCESSORS   TCP          django core context processors request      Then  provided you send the request contents in your response  for example as this  from django shortcuts import render to response from django template import RequestContext  def index request       return render to response           user profile html              title    User profile             context instance RequestContext request

This is an old question but it can be summed up as easily as this if you re using django-registration     In your Log In and Log Out link  lets say in your page header  add the next parameter to the link which will go to login or logout   Your link should look like this     lt li gt  lt a href  http   www noobmovies com accounts login  next    request path   urlencode     gt Log In lt  a gt  lt  li gt    lt li gt  lt a href  http   www noobmovies com accounts logout  next    request path   urlencode     gt Log Out lt  a gt  lt  li gt    That s simply it  nothing else needs to be done  upon logout they will immediately be redirected to the page they are at  for log in  they will fill out the form and it will then redirect to the page that they were on   Even if they incorrectly try to log in it still works

The other answers were incorrect  at least in my case  request path does not provide the full url  only the relative url  e g   paper 53  I did not find any proper solution  so I ended up hardcoding the constant part of the url in the View before concatenating it with request path

I suppose send to template full request is little bit redundant  I do it this way  from django shortcuts import render  def home request       app url   request path     return render request   home html     app url   app url      template    app url

Both    request path    and    request get full path    return the current URL but not absolute URL  for example   your website com wallpapers new wallpaper Both will return  new wallpaper   notice the leading and trailing slashes   So you ll have to do something like    if request path      new wallpaper           lt button gt show this button only if url is new wallpaper lt  button gt     endif     However  you can get the absolute URL using  thanks to the answer above     request build absolute uri     NOTE  you don t have to include request in settings py  it s already there

In django template  Simply get current url from   request path   For getting full url  with parameters   request get full path    Note  You must add request in django TEMPLATE CONTEXT PROCESSORS
