Request

AJAX

def save(request):
    if request.is_ajax():
        print request.POST

GET

Django: Capturing url parameters in request.GET

If your url is something like http://domain/search/?q=haha, then you would use code like this:

request.GET.get('q', '').

if 'next' in request.GET:
    url = request.GET.get('next')

POST

def save(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        print request.POST
