CP2.2 beta redirect

[dimitri pater]

Hello,
In CP2.1 I used to do:
import cherrypy
from cherrypy.lib import httptools
***more here
httptools.redirect('../news')
***more here

and it worked! But with CP2.2 beta:
import cherrypy
#from cherrypy.lib import httptools
***more here
cherrypy.HTTPRedirect('../news')
***more here
does not work, it returns to the same page
(no tracebacks in Eclipse/Pydev)
Could somebody please explain me why? I have searched for an answer and tried several things, to no avail...
thanks,
Dimitri

Hi Dmitri,

Starting with 2.1, httptools.redirect() was deprecated in favor of the
*exception* cherrypy.HTTPRedirect. The correct way to do redirects in
2.1 and 2.2 is:

raise cherrypy.HTTPRedirect('/somewhere/else')

which, incidentally, is not a particulary good decision ...

The following workaround was suggested, write a helper function and
return that:

def redirect(url):
cherrypy.HTTPRedirect(url).set_response()
return cherrypy.response.body

thank you, it works on the webserver
but not on localhost though,
it gets redirected to http://localhost/somepage
in stead of http://localhost:8080/somepage
but I guess that is easy to solve...
Thanks, Dimitri
