I think that redirection is not what you're after; that will just cause the browser to post the same form to the new (redirected) URL. If the new function/page is in the same controller, you could edit the request and just call that function, I suppose. You could use urllib/urllib2 to make an entirely new request, but you'd want to be careful not to create a deadlock (for example, you'd want to forget the session before making the request). Seems like unnecessary overhead. If the function/page is in another controller, perhaps the heavy lifting could be moved to a shared module. --
