RE: Re: Re: redirect with get from post
Jerome, Thanks, that seems to make sense with the status codes. So, by changing the status codes upon a redirect after POST, that should work. -Adam -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447dsMessageId=3053529
Re: Re: redirect with get from post
Hi Adam, Thanks for the cool feed-back on RF! As far as I know, HTTP redirection doesn't let you explicitely specify the HTTP method to use for the target URI. Looking more closely at the HTTP redirection statuses: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3 it does appear that status code 303 (and potentially 302) do change the method from POST to GET automatically! It should therefore work with RF as expected. Best regards, Jerome -- http://restlet.org http://twitter.com/#!/jlouvel 2013/4/17 Adam Mc a...@cs.miami.edu Jerome, thanks for your reply. Yes, I was not aware of the html redirect, as I have always used server side. I suppose that would work, but it does seem that serverside is a more recommended method. My pattern is that an HTML FORM submits a POST, and depending on the circumstance, issues a redirect. This pattern always worked fine using servlets. Switching to Restlet caused a bit of a problem in this area as it was forcing a POST redirect. Too bad we can't designate the redirect method. Is there something in REST or HTTP that dictates against changing methods on a redirect? Regardless, I have found Restlets to be a great framework and I am currently in the process of switching some major code base over to the framework.

Re: redirect with get from post
Hi Adam, I guess you could use an HTML redirect in this case, if your client is ineed a web browser. Best regards, Jerome -- http://restlet.org http://twitter.com/#!/jlouvel 2013/4/14 Adam Mc a...@cs.miami.edu Hi, I have a post request, and after that request I need to temporarily redirect to another page. However, I need that redirect to be a GET not a POST. I see in the docs that the redirect uses the same method, which in this case is a POST. Is there any way to change the method being used to a GET?
