Hello Michael, after reading the spec, SUCCESS_CREATED shows that the operation succeeds and allows you also to provide a representation with some information about the new resource, including "a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate". I don't think it can be meant as a redirection. I think also that the redirecRef is only used when the status of the response is a redirection status (3xx). The main explanation for this design choice is that there are several redirection status, and no default one.

Hello, I'm new to using restlets and have been experimenting with simple test pages to make sure i understand how to use it (and so that i can write some examples to help my coworkers learn it). I wrote a simple form submission test that works, except that the redirection after returning SUCCESS_CREATED doesn't happen. I am under the impression that setting getResponse().setRedirectRef(<some URL>); sets the location header and redirects the browser to whatever URL is specified. If i send the state REDIRECTION_SEE_OTHER, it redirects correctly. From the HTTP spec, it appears that using REDIRECTION_SEE_OTHER to redirect the client to a view of the created item after a post is acceptable, so I'm going with that for now, but I thought SUCCESS_CREATED was supposed to do that also. Am I incorrect in expecting it to redirect on SUCCESS_CREATED? thanks for your time, Michael
