Ticket #123 (defect)

I found some slightly annoying bug in httplib.redirect function, that appears when using certain url parameters. The easy way to reproduce it is to try to make a redirect from url like:

http://mysite/index?param=http://anothersite

Instead of using cherrypy's own url tokenizing logic I simply suggest to use standard urlparse module. Following code works perfectly for me, and IMHO is much more cleaner.

from urlparse import urljoin

def redirect(newUrl):

""" Sends a redirect to the browser """ newUrl = urljoin(cpg.request.browserUrl, newUrl) cpg.response.headerMap['Status'] = 302 cpg.response.headerMap['Location'] = newUrl return

Also instead of returning list it now returns string, as previously it could have generated some problems.
