Fwd: [Webware-devel] love hate relationships =)

[Michael Engelhart]

Actually my example of doing https://domain.com -> http://domain.com you can ignore. I remember that this is almost impossible to do with Webware and servlets. I had some funky workaround code I used in Java that allowed me to handle this so I was thinking that I had it working and can't seem to ever remember that I came up with that helper class to do the same functionality...

But I'd still love to have forward() working as Luke mentioned.


cheers

Part of the reason why I dont use an external redirect, is so I can pass data
from one servlet to another on a per request basis. For example... passing
error information from my login action to the login page.

This is a huge thing for me also. I'm not sure if it's only pertinent for Java Servlet refugees or not but with Java this is a VERY common way of working. I also find it a very elegant solution to passing temporary data around and it greatly simplifies the MVC architechture.

Another problem I have is that forward() doesn't do something (which I did with Secure sessions) like forward from
https://domain.com/Login.py
to
http://domain.com/SuccessfulLogin.py

which I do in almost every web application I build that only needs username/password encryption.

Of course you can redirect but you can't stuff a "Welcome message" or any other data into the request before forwarding it to the non-SSL page.

anyway, I'd really, really like to see forward() fixed or working better. Not sure what I can do to help but if there are a list of specific "issues" as to why this doesn't work I'd love to see them.

thanks
Mike
