But I don't know if the HTTP spec permits it or not.Boy, this would be a really cool feature.Correct me if I'm wrong, but [REDIRECT] really just sends an HTTP redirect request to the person's browser, right?So it would be pretty cool if there were something akin to [REDIRECT] that worked on an internal level. That is, it would actually serve up a different page on execution like REDIRECT, but in a different way. So, the order of things might go like this:-Browser sends request to web* (for example)-Web* sends page to WebCat for processing-If the page contains a [REDIRECT-TWO] (for lack of a better name), WebCat discards the results that it was ready to send back to Web*-WebCat sends an internal request to process the template requested in the [REDIRECT-TWO] tag-WebCat sends the result of this internal request to Web*-Web* serves back the page to the browser.This would take care of Paul's request and might have some other useful applications (I think I had one or two uses over the past few years).This may be completely unworkable. Please excuse my ramblings if it is.Michael#############################################################This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
