it would be nice if $c->res->redirect returned a 303 appropriately if $c->req->method eq 'POST'. i have in the past trapped it in 'end' to fix up the $c->res->status if == 302 and $c->req->method eq 'POST', but lately i just don't bother. You should be able to set the http status code with ->redirect(302) if I'm reading the source code correctly. --John On Apr 27, 2007, at 6:03 AM, Simon Wilcox wrote: > On Tue, 24 Apr 2007, A.
