[Zope] Netscape 4.7x Redirect problem

[Schmidt, Allen J.]

I changed the redirects from just the file or folder name:
RESPONSE.redirect('/Allen/menu')

And added the full server name. Works fine in Netscape now. Thanks!!

I was going to add like this:
RESPONSE.redirect(SERVER_NAME+'/Allen/menu')
Then I don't have to change things when moving from development to
production.

But, it give the real name of the computer server and not the Zope domain
name.
Any ideas there? Or just leave it alone? Its not used in but a handful of
places.
Zope Find works great for tracking the locations too, so its not really a
big deal.

Thanks to all for the tips.

Allen

This is because HTTP specifies that Location must give an absolute URI 
(<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30>), and 
redirect uses a 302 response and the Location field.
