[Helma-user] onRequest and res.stop();

[Maksim Lin for technical support mailling lists]

Hi Andreas,

That doesn't sound right - I use res.redirect() in onRequest() in my
apps all the time to handle this kind of user permission checks.
Infact the docs for res.stop() say :
"...Note that this method is intended for use in the context of an
onRequest handler and not for use inside of actions, which would likely
lead to bad coding practices. "

And I just tried it in a test app and it works ok for me.

Are you sure that the error is definitely coming from the res.stop()
method call ?

Maks.
