[Zope] Netscape 4.7x Redirect problem

[Peter Bengtsson]

Can you not use the absolute_url() method?
It takes SiteRoots into account which no other good solution does.
If you have access too "Allen" in the aquisition path, you should definitly
use abolsute_url()

RESPONSE.redirect(Allen.menu.absolute_url())
