[Zope] Netscape 4.7x Redirect problem

[Schmidt, Allen J.]

Great. Thanks! I will try your suggestions.

For now I have just replaced the redirects with meta refresh tags in the
same location. Works well so far,
although I am sure it may cause some problems somewhere since it is not in
the HEAD but in several places on the same page depending on where the logic
stops.

I should be able to try your full URL suggestion today. Thanks

Allen

Don't ask me why but people in the community keep repeating that you should
pass a full url to the redirect() method.
Do instead:
RESPONSE.redirect('http://www.guugle.com/Allen/menu')
...or...
RESPONSE.redirect(menu.absolute_url())

Again, don't ask me why but adding lock=1 as a parameter to the redirect()
has helped me once or twice. I don't know how it works but it makes sure
that after a success full redirect the addressbar shows what you expect it
to show.
