When you use the CFLOCATION tag, the server sends back a Location header. The browser doesn't display the page which contains the Location header, but it does receive it. It then requests the URL specified in the Location header. So, using your step-by-step approach, here's what happens: - user submits page 1 thereby requesting page 2 - server processes page 2 - server returns page 2 - browser reads Location header, which says "get page 3" - browser requests page 3 - server processes page 3 - server returns page 3 and browser displays it This is very easy to see, if you use a recording proxy.
