ok thanks...but that kind of sucks. If I wanted goofy URLs I'd use
seaside ;).
I really do not think that serializing the message in the cookie is
the path of "least surprise" developers expect.
I do not know why merb would add this new "message" thing without
ensuring the message lasted through a redirect; its pretty useless
without that behavior.
