In principle, you should be able to do something like http://www.mysite.com?url=http://www.google.com/, as long as you encode the URL thus: http://www.mysite.com?url=http://www.google.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F However, at least by default you'll run afoul of web2py's URL syntax checker. You can avoid that by using the parameter-based router. Still, it's tricky, partly because proper url-encoding is absolutely mandatory; otherwise the result can be ambiguous. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
