So, what would you use instead of redirects? I have a number of idiomatic
uses where they are treated as programmable, self-executing hyperlinks to
transfer control from one object to another, dragging along parameters as
I go. So far it has been a reliable and robust mechanism, at least for
me using the GET method.
