[Zope] Trying to implement a simple mvc or how do you pass the REQUEST o bject when doing a redirect?

[Pierce, Scott]

I have a product that I am attempting to do something like this:

    def controller(self):
        """ 
        This will implement a MVC type paradigm for user administration.
        """
        req = self.REQUEST
        f = req.form

        controldict = {'adduser': self.CreateUser,
                        'viewuser': self.ViewUser,
                        'edituser': self.EditUser,
                        'None': MessageDialog(title='Error: Action not
Recognized',
                                            message='The action you took is
not recognized',
                                            action='Admin')}

        controldict[f.get('controlaction','None')]()  

It would work except calling the dtml method like this causes there to be no
traverse_subpath in the 
REQUEST object and I use that like this:
def parseSubPath(self):
        """ 
        Parses the subpath and gives us access
        to the variables contained therein
        """
        set = self.REQUEST.set
        subpath = self.REQUEST.traverse_subpath
        idx = len(subpath)-1
        jdx = 0
        while jdx < idx:
            set(subpath[jdx],subpath[jdx+1])
            jdx += 1

this allows me to put variables in the URL (it seems like there is another
way of doing this but.... i don't know what it is).  This code is called in
standard_html_header and breaks with the controller code above.  

So, I either need to fix the parseSubPath code (there is a LOT of code that
uses this so major refactoring to change) or I could change the controller
method to do a redirect but then I need to be able to pass the REQUEST
object from the controller method to the redirected object.

The question is, how do you pass the REQUEST object when doing a redirect?
