I read through the documentation a few times. I am not sure how to do this. What I want to do is to receive a hit to a function, and then have that function redirect the browser to another location. For instance, I have a function that will present a form for adding an entry into a database. When the user hits "submit", I want to have the function that inserts the stuff into the db called, and then have it redirect the browser back to the original page with a status message of the sort "Row added" or "Cannot enter duplicate items in a unique column" or whatnot. I know that there are two ways of doing this: 1) Sending some HTML that will redirect it to the appropriate location. This is a non-smooth solution. 2) Sending the Location header with the new location. (It's been a few months since I have done this, and I don't have the example code, plus it was done in mod_perl... this is three strikes against my memory. I could be wrong). I've tried something like this: (Remember, I am using publisher as the handler) def myfunc(req): req.headers_out['Location']="http://url/to/new/location" req.send_http_headers() return apache.OK and I've tried a bunch of variations on this theme... but nothing seems to work write. Can someone give me a pointer or let me know where I'm confused? Of course, I've read all the documentation, but nothing seems to help. Jonathan
