Checking HTTP Status code django

Question

I am probably staring it right in the face here. But does Django have a way of actually checking what the HTTP Status code is. I'm basically interested if it's the 302 redirect status code. But no matter what I try and search for I'm only getting HTTPResponse() which is no good to me.

Your question unfortunately doesn't make any sense. The reason why you don't get any Google results for this is that there's simply no such thing as a status code for a request. The status code is what the server sends back to the client as a result of the request: it's unavoidably part of the response, not the request.

I suspect however that this is an XY problem. What, exactly, are you trying to achieve? If you need some data to be preserved through a redirect, then you probably want to store it in the session.
