I cannot reproduce -- for me, redirect('http://www.web2py.com') redirects
to www.web2py.com as expected. When you call redirect('some_url'), web2py
issues a 303 response with the "Location" HTTP header set to 'some_url' --
the client is then responsible for redirecting to that URL.
Are you by any chance calling the members() function via Ajax?
