logout redirect

[dbv]

Testing the logout function with this code:

# server.py

@bottle.post('/login')

def login():

    """Authenticate users"""

    email_addr = post_get('email')

    password = post_get('password')

    username = post_get('username')

    aaa.login(username, password, success_redirect='/dash', fail_redirect='/login')

@bottle.route('/logout')

def logout():

    aaa.logout(success_redirect='/', fail_redirect='/login')

# dash.html

<form>

    <button type="submit" class="btn"><a href="/logout">Logout</a></button>

</form>

* re-directs successfully to /dash, POST 303, but 

* fails to re-direct to '/' but instead re-directs to '/login', POST 303

Did I miss something?

Sounds like the logout is failing. You can remove the redirects and
print its output as a test.
Check if the cookie is being set/removed as expected from the browser.

debugging in cork.py:

cookie is set at /login

session cookie is removed at /logout

fails in def logout() at line 222

    bottle.redirect(success_redirect) 

when success_redirect='/'.  

tried with success_redirect='/somethingelse' but it still fails.

in each case it drops to the except clause.

that is a bit weird ... can't see what the problem is.
