That does seem like a compromise. I'm not really in favour of views that come from a POST; they cause problems if (for example) the user wants to bookmark the page. It's no simple fix, but I think it is more helpful to users to perform the requested action and then send the view back with a 303 status, and with a Location: header giving the same view as a GET request. At least for IMP, I cannot think of a POST request that needs to show a specific result and can't redirect to a GET version. -- Tim Bannister Email system administrator IT Services division The University of Manchester w: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/itservices -- IMP mailing list - Join the hunt: http://horde.org/bounties/#imp Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
