Item2602: foswiki_redirect_cache no longer redirects properly

Using Foswiki::Func::redirectCgiQuery( undef, $url, 1 ) in trunk does not lead to the page at $url but to the current page, although the url has changed - it shows the new web and topic, with ?foswiki_redirect_cache=1234567889 appended. If you then reload the page you finally see the new page.

If the pass_through parameter is dropped it does work.

Seen on Mac OS X.

Hi Arthur, you may wish to review Development.RemoveRedirectCGIQueryHandler and decide whether to close this bug, or not, or ...

You mix two different things. The feature proposal addresses redirectCgiQueryHandler.

This bug is about Foswiki::Func::redirectCgiQuery which is not deprecated and is actively used in plugins. I use it in MultiTopicSavePlugin to redirect after calling a rest handler. It is used several places and should be fixed if broken.

I have not yet done any testing of my plugin on trunk. It was developed for 1.0.9. So it may be a bug introduced in trunk. If the bug is correct then it is a release blocker for me. I am raising to urgent.

The behaviour you describe is consistent with a topic parameter being passed in the CGI params. Kinda depends what $url is.

Can't reproduce by lack of a test. I think I saw this with FormPlugin, but I have solved that differently, using a 307 redirect.
