I agree with what you say, but as you point out, it doesn't help the problem
I am having with our production site. I can't use the sendRedirect.
Actually..I probably could. We only have about 50 to 100 people a day on our
site. So for performance reasons, I dont much care about the sendRedirect
lag time. My use of forward is specifically for the future of our site
possibly using 1000 users a day or more.
So the question then is, is it really worth it to use the forward() call
over sendRedirect() if at most we will have 1000 to 3000 people a DAY (not
hour, not minute) use our site? How much faster is it to use forward() over
sendRedirect() as far as each client on our site sees it?
Thanks.
