Cut and pasted the wrong code there...

def logon(request):
     referer = "/"
     if request.get_environ('HTTP_REFERER'):
         referer = request.get_environ('HTTP_REFERER')
     if referer.find('/logon') == -1:
         redirect_url = referer
     else:
         redirect_url = "/"
     return DoLogin(redirect_url).handle(request)
