[Zope] From POST to GET

[Peter Bengtsson]

You are missing the point I'm afraid.
I'm processing POSTed variables and all of a sudden I decide that I want to
GET somewhere else using a RESPONSE.redirect(sompage?cgi=querystring)
statement.
Do the RESPONSE.redirect whilst processing the POST data causes the
RESPONSE.redirect to act a POST. This is clear if I look at the Z2.log which
shows something like this:
 "POST /somepage?cgi=querystring HTTP/1.1"

If I skip that redirect thing and replace it with a ugly hyperlink the
request is stored in the log lik this:
 "GET /somepage?cgi=querystring HTTP/1.1"

See the difference and the problem?
I want my RESPONSE.redirect to act like a GET request like a hyperlink does.
