Searches and Redirects

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/13]

This is an approach in mod_perl question -- not a 
development/installation question.

How do people usually handle searches and redirects?
IE - someone searches for something, you process the search, and if 
there's one record, you redirect them to that record.
Except, in that situation, the browser 'location' will still be for the 
search page.

Would it be best to create a new url via r->uri and send the use to 
that/
or to send a location header to redirect that way?
or maybe there's a way to process things internally, then just show a 
diff. location in the header bar

under non-mod_perl , i've used a location header to redirect the 
client, but my feeling with $r->uri is that i may be able to bypass 
this
