I think you are confused about what redirect() does. When a client (browser) sends a request to a server, the server responds with a status code (usually 200 OK, but sometimes 404 Page not found) as well as the page content. Appengine does all this for you without you having to worry about it. But it can also send a 30x status code meaning "This resource can now be found at...", including a new URL instead of the page content, which makes the browser send another request to the new URL. self.redirect() does this for you, so of course processing stops - there is no point in creating any more content after this is sent. What you will see, assuming the browser is working correctly, is another request from the same client for the new URL. This is serviced by a new request handler, which might well be on another machine than the one that did the redirect. You will need to use a cookies/session to pass data from the original request handler to the new one. See http://code.google.com/p/gmemsess/ for an example. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
