Redirect after POST

Published 22 September 04 by Justin French

It all boils down to the following mantra:

1. Never show pages in response to POST
2. Always load pages using GET
3. Navigate from POST to GET using REDIRECT

The reality is I already knew this, and discovered it a long time ago through trial and error, but it’s really nice to see a clear, concise and detailed explanation of the dangers, the logic and the reasoning behind it all.

If you’re breaking any of the above rules, I urge you to read the article – dig deeper and write some smarter code!
