Usually, your would pass it as a parameter...

The HTTP 1.1 standard is very weak on this question.

But, usually, something like 

  RESPONSE.redirect(REDIRECT_URL + '?%s=%s' % (url_quote_plus(param_name),
                                               url_quote_plus(param_value)))

will work.					       
I.e., you pass the parameter as part of the HTTP URI query string.
