from the "url_for" doc string :If no route by that name is found, the string is assumed to be a raw URL. Should the raw URL begin with ``/`` then appropriate SCRIPT_NAME data will be added if present, otherwise the string will be used as the url with keyword args becoming GET query args. But what if I don't want to SCRIPT_NAME to be prefixed to the URL because it's a link for a different application ? For example if pylons app has SCRIPT_NAME of "/pylons" but I want to create a URL for "/blog/newposts" which is served an a different blog application (so it should not be converted to /pylons/blog/newposts) ? Normally I wouldn't need to call url_for in this case, and just use the external URL directly, but if I need to do a redirect using pylons redirect_to it will internally call url_for and add the SCRIPT_NAME prefix.
Right, this is why Pylons will have a redirect() function that does not pass the args through redirect_to. It's included in the latest Pylons 0.9.7 tip code (soon to be released as final), but isn't yet used as the default as we wanted the book to be accurate for at least one released version of Pylons. :)
