[Kss-devel] kss and response.redirect

[Hedley Roos]

I'll write the action if others find it useful.

I'm currently ajaxifying the entire plone join, login and password 
retrieval mechanism. It's going quite well.

The redirect is needed when there is a came_from variable on the 
request. I can't just fill the center of the screen with a portion of 
html since I cannot be certain that the destination page template will 
offer me a macro that I can call, hence the redirect. If this sounds 
confusing tell me and I'll elaborate.

My original goal was to ajaxify the entire Form Controller mechanism. I 
investigated it for a few hours but decided against it. I still believe 
it is possible to do that given more time. And I think it can be done 
transparently, but that's another discussion.

So, to summarize: a redirect action is useful when there is no logical 
way to modify a portion of the DOM.
