How do I do URL redirection in OpenACS / AOLServer?
Question
We have a page with a form in OpenACS, and we'd like to redirect users to an external site/URL containing a totally different page/form.
How is it best done (on either the OpenACS-side or AOLServer-side)?
Solution
With OpenACS, here are some suggestions, starting with util_httppost:

I don't have privs to post more than one hyperlink, but inside this one there are links to other posts that discuss ns_returnredirect or just Javascript on the front end as a possible solution.
OTHER TIPS
I'd say go with ad_returnredirect http://openacs.org/api-doc/proc-view?proc=ad_returnredirect It's recommended over ns_returnredirect for the reasons described on the API link.
This an example, I hope this will be usefull for you:
ad_form -name form1 -form {
....
} -after_submit {
ad_returnredirect -allow_complete_url "http://www.google.com/"
}
