[Zope] Netscape 4.7x Redirect problem

[Schmidt, Allen J.]

Welcome David!

Looks we both work for the same employer...The State of Virginia.

Are you using Zope down your way? With the PeopleSoft conversion coming
along, I thought it would interesting to build out some sort of interface to
it with Zope and/or Python.

Anyone else on the list ever heard of such a thing being done? 

Or, on a far side note...Is there a 3270 Terminal interface for Python? That
would be great! I have a Java Servlet connection now that uses a Java API.
Might there be a way to tie it into Jython or something? Just curious...

I've run into something similar in a different context, which I documented 
here.

I'm hypothesizing that when the HTTP Header is something other than 200, 
and the end destination page is large, and the url has no file extension, 
Netscape 4.x chokes.
