A view sometimes renders content after a successful POST request, for example:

from django.shortcuts import render

def my_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = MyForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return render(request, 'some_success_template.html')
    else:
        form = MyForm()
    return render(request, 'some_template.html', {'form': form})

Why is it a problem?

This means that for this specific HTTP request, it returns a HTTP response. If the client later performs a refresh on the browser, it means that the browser will make another POST request. This can result in buying the same products multiple times, posting the same comment multiple times, etc. This is something one often wants to avoid.

What can be done to resolve the problem?

The Post/Redirect/Get architectural pattern ^[wiki] sends a HTTP 302 or HTTP 303 response, which is a non-permanent redirect to the next page. The browser will then make a GET request to that other view. If later the client refreshes the browser, the browser will again make a GET request to the new URL, and thus no longer make a second POST request.

The view thus then looks like:

from django.shortcuts import redirect, render

def my_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = MyForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('name-of-some-view')
    else:
        form = MyForm()
    return render(request, 'some_template.html', {'form': form})
