Hi,

I have this setup for a small script (for bigger things I use quixote)



def cgi_main():
    stdout=sys.stdout
    sys.stdout=sys.stderr # print soll zu Apache-Log
    try:
        html=cgi_html()
    except ReturnThis, r:
        stdout.write(str(r))
        return
    stdout.write("Content-Type: text/html\n\n%s" % html)

CGI-Script *very* small
...........
# Python Imports
import os
import sys

import cgitb
cgitb.enable()
import foo

if __name__=="__main__":
    foo.cgi_main()

............

file foo:

def cgi_main():
    stdout=sys.stdout
    sys.stdout=sys.stderr # print should go to Apache-Log
    try:
        html=cgi_html()
    except ReturnThis, r:
        stdout.write(str(r))
        return
    stdout.write("Content-Type: text/html\n\n%s" % html)


class ReturnThis(Exception):
    pass

class Redirect(ReturnThis):
    def __init__(self, destination):
        if os.environ.get("HTTPS")=="on":
            http="https://"
        else:
            http="http://"
        url="%s%s%s%s" % (http, os.environ["SERVER_NAME"], os.environ["SCRIPT_NAME"],
                          destination)
        header="Status: 302 Moved Temporarily\nLocation: %s\n\n" % (
            url)
        ReturnThis.__init__(self, header)


Now you can 'raise Redirect("mylocation")' anywhere in your code.

HTH,
 Thomas
