Building a link shortener in Django
You could just navigate to the URL via HttpResponseRedirect
I am using Django 1.9 to build a link shortener. I have created a simple HTML page where the user can enter the long URL. I have also coded the methods for shortening this URL. The data is getting stored in the database and I am able to display the shortened URL to the user. 
I want to know what I have to do next. What happens when a user visits the shorter URL? Should I use redirects or something else? I am totally clueless about this topic.
