That example is taking more shortcuts than it should, and may be a
leftover from an older version of Pylons. If you're using the default
"/{controller}/{action}" route, always specify both a controller and
an action.
redirect(url(controller="hello", action="result"))
"/content/" is probably a default somewhere in Routes or Pylons, but
you shouldn't depend on it as it's likely to go away sometime.
A robust application (as opposed to a quick ad hoc application) should
have a specific named route for each URL, and then use
``redirect(url("routename"))``.
The current application template has "map.minimization = False" and
"map.explicit = False", as you have. I'm not 100% sure about
map.explicit, it's name seems to be the opposite of its description in
the docs. I.e., my reading of the docs is that ``map.explicit`` really
does ``map.implicit``?
(http://routes.groovie.org/uni_redirect_rest.html#backward-compatibility)
In any case, just leave them as False, and always specify a
controller either in the route definition or in the url() call.
