Hi Guys Just a quick one today. I have created a redirect:

variables.fw.redirect(action='question.form',append="questionid");

Which displays:

<https://www.foo.com/question/form/questionid/31>

But I also have a route:

...
generateSES = true,
SESOmitIndex = true,
routes = [
    {"$*/question/edit/questionid/([0-9]+)/?$" = "/question/form/questionid/\1"},
...

Surely, the

redirect()

&

buildURL()

methods, should add the route conversion as well? So, I would expect the following to be displayed in the address bar:

<https://www.foo.com/question/edit/questionid/31>

Have I uncovered a bug, or maybe these methods do not analyze the routes, when converting links into SES links.

Routing is unidirectional: it's applied inbound on requests, not outbound on responses (so

redirect()

and

buildURL()

do not consider route mappings). It's an interesting potential enhancement -- but no one's maintaining FW/1 these days so it is very unlikely to get added, unless you decide to implement it and submit a PR.

Thanks Sean. Much obliged for the insight. I will see if I can add a PR and try and add the enhancement...

It would need to be something that users opt into -- perhaps an optional extra option to

redirect()

and

buildURL()

-- so that it doesn't break any existing users' code.

Maybe something like:

public void function redirect( string action, string preserve = “none”, string append = “none”, string path = see below, any queryString = ‘’, string statusCode = ‘302’, string header = ‘’,boolean applyRoute = false)
