I'm trying to pass a filepath from one view to another by using 'redirect' from django.shortcuts, but the argument is not getting passed.  What am I doing wrong?

def upload1(request):

  if request.method == 'POST':

    form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)

    if form.is_valid():

      filepath = request.FILES['file']

      return redirect('/app/upload2/', filepath=filepath)

You are passing the hardcoded url to redirect, which will be used as-is (per doc: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/http/shortcuts/#redirect). If you want the filepath kwarg to be used to construct the url specified in the redirect, you need to pass the name of the view (or url pattern) for the view.
