Steve,
Dale’s post is very thorough and you should review it. But I will say that using the <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=<@APPFILE>"> method should avoid the redirect loop catch. Also, you mentioned using this in a cron job, in that case there is no browser so both the 302 Moved and the meta refresh methods won’t work (since both are functions of the browser). In the cron case, instead of refreshing/redirecting to a new request, you must use @URL to call the TAF again and start a new thread. Couple of things: You must be completely done with all variables and work since the new thread will begin before the old thread ends. @URL must be called with waitforresults=false (otherwise you’ll be calling recursively) @URL does not by default pass the user reference cookie. If you need to sustain user scoped variables, you must explicitly add the argument to the URL.

How are you handling the redirect? Which method? Robert From: Fogelson, Steve [mailto:stevefogel...@askics.net] Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2011 10:54 PM To: Witango-Talk@witango.com Subject: Witango-Talk: Re-Directs Found something a little odd. I wrote a taf to import data into a db table. Because of the size I have broken it into increments of 500 records at a time and then redirect to the same taf until finished. I am using IE 8.0 and for some reason it fails after 10 redirects. I changed the number of records from 10 to 500 and it always fails after 10 redirects. I couldn’t determine why, so I tried FireFox. It paused after 20 redirects and displayed a message indicating a possible problem with the redirect. Is there a “check” programmed into BROWSERs to prevent runaway re-directs? If so, is there a work around for this. What happens when this is ran as a cron?
