Rails 3 - Devise request.referer always has sign_in url

I am using devise. I want to redirect to previous page after sign in process is successful. The problem I am having is that the request.referer always has sign_in URL in it. How can I get the URL of the previous page without some explicit hooks.

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
   stored_location_for(resource) || request.referer || search_index_path
end

inside action controller put

before_action :store_return_to, unless: :devise_controller?
def store_return_to
 store_location_for(resource, request.url)
end

Where resource is your devise model, :user per example

I am not on my dev machine so can't verify it. But it should be.

#application controller

def store_return_to
      session[:return_to] = request.uri
end

def redirect_back_or_default
    redirect_to(session[:return_to] || root_url)
    session[:return_to] = nil
end


#home_controller | or any other controller we want to use it.
before_filter :store_return_to

# Session/login_controlelr
Call this function after successful sign_in or sign_up
redirect_back_or_default

A bit off the track(devise) but will be helpful.
