django - Get the exact GET url that was used to call a django view (including params)

I have a view which accepts GET params (accessible via the request.GET and that are present in the uri)

Inside the view I want to get the exact uri that was used to call that view maintaining order

Example:

If a call was made to http://best.site.ever/?this=that&that=this I want to be able to fetch it in the view

def best_view_ever(request):
    calling_uri = get_calling_uri(request)
    calling_uri # this should be http://best.site.ever/?this=that&that=this

Is this achievable in any way?

build_absolute_uri method of request object would be helpful here 

def get_calling_uri(request):
    return request.build_absolute_uri()

def best_view_ever(request):
    calling_uri = get_calling_uri(request)
    print calling_uri # this should be http://best.site.ever/?this=that&that=this

The Django request objects have a helper method available, called build_absolute_uri:

request.build_absolute_uri()
