Re: [cgiapp] Re: [Semi-OT] Run modes after reauthorization

["Jonathan Mangin" <suppressed>]

Mark,

I'm afraid I'm stuck with IE. All I can do is keep pushing for a
standards change.

The user is 'somewhere' and his session has expired. Session parameters
last_url and last_rm are set and he's redirected to login(). After
reauthenticating he's redirected back to $url. At that point, the back
button takes him to login(). Not useful.

It looks like I'll need a Back button in my application. Just curious,
would Firefox skip over a single redirect or both?

Thanks,
Jon
