Hello everybody,

first of all I want to say thank you for creating and supporting this
magnificent web2py framework, I really enjoy working with it.

Now I ran into an issue which may be originating from the
gluon.tools.Auth.requires_*() routines, which I found no topic about
in the news group.

To reproduce the issue do the following:
- download and extract the web2py packet (1.71.0 - the latest one
today)
- start web2py and create a new application - say "sandbox"
- within the controllers directory create a new controller - say
"sandbox.py"
- within this controller "sandbox.py" write the following:

@auth.requires_login()
def sandboxindex():
    return dict(message="hello from sandbox.py")

- Now try to navigate to this URL: 
http://127.0.0.1:8000/sandbox/sandbox/sandboxindex
=> you end up with a login form (which is what you want, of course)
=> looking at the URL of the login form you can read:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/sandbox/default/user/login?_next=/sandbox/default/sandboxindex
(I do not understand why this URL parameter _next is used here, since
the login form is a "POST" form?)
=> in the source code of the form you will find:
<input name="_next" type="hidden" value="/sandbox/default/
sandboxindex" />
(which is NOT what you wanted.)

Instead of value="/sandbox/default/sandboxindex" it should read
value="/sandbox/sandbox/sandboxindex" in order to redirect to the
correct controller/function after successful login.

Do I need to change anything in my application(s) or is this really an
issue with the web2py Auth class?
Is there a conflict with default settings for auth.settings.login_next
in the scaffolding application? (In the "real" application am working
on I do not define a auth.settings.login_next parameter, too)

Some background information:

Environments:
- started web2py on Windows XP with: web2py_no_console.exe --taskbar --
ip=127.0.0.1 --port=8000 --password=web2py_pwd
- started web2py on Debian (lenny): nohup python web2py/web2py.py -p
8001 -i 127.0.0.1 -a '<recycle>' &

web2py version:
- 1.71.0 (latest one today)
- test application "sandbox" created with 1.71.0, too

I appreciate your help!

Kind regards,
Toni
