just a guess, endless loops make for bad user experience?

I'm going through the wiki tutorial (SQLAlchemy + URL Dispatch). On the page describing authentication, line 7 of the code example under "Adding Login and Logout Views" has the comment: "# never use the login form itself as came_from" but I don't see any indication about why.

Can anyone explain why?  Thanks.

or rather, on successful login, the form will redirect you to "came_from" and if you hit login and are logged in and redirect to login, you will rinse and repeat until http hits a limit.

Ah ok got it.  Somehow I missed the part about redirecting to came_from.  Thanks.
