title: How to display data resulting from POST in django view?
body: <p>I have a form that takes a path as input, analyzes files and subfolders in that directory, stores information in a database, then displays some statistics to the user about the files just parsed.  This is done currently using a Django view and render_to_response.  </p>
  
  <p>According to everything I have read, it's incorrect to use anything other that HttpResponseRedirect when dealing with a POST, as a page generated with POST data would resubmit the form if the page were refreshed.</p>
  
  <p>My issue here is that there's a large amount of summary data ultimately displayed as a result of analyzing files on the provided path.  How can I display that data with an httpResponseRedirect?  Sending it as GET parameters using <code>django.core.urlresolvers.reverse</code> seems infeasible due to the amount of data.</p>
