php_guy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have the following 1. php page that stores sessions. press submit and... 2. ...goes to perl/cgi page to interface with an api only available in perl, then auto redirects via HTTP headers to... 3. ... a php page where depending on the result a field is added to database then emailed, etc... then... 4.... redirects to main page so really all the user sees is page 1 -> hits submit -> ends up on page 4 via redirects Is there a problem with using redirects? Could the user intervene and prevent these redirects? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergal Andrews Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 hi php_guy, The browser has to load each page it is redirected to and the server hosting the page must process the code before it redirects to the next page. Therefore it is possible for someone to shut down the browser or hit the stop button. You can test this by setting up your redirects and use a browser plugin to throttle your connection speed to simulate different types of connection speed.
