I have a login form on the front page of a site that uses (say) /login.html as its 'action'. Login.html just looks at the post parameters, tries to log the user in, and redirects to the front page, which should then display user specific information.

However, the front page displays the old login form, and requires a refresh to pick up the new information.

Ditto with logout, which shows the user information until the page is refreshed.

I'm using hunchentoot:redirect with the URL, and can't figure out why this isn't working.

I *think* I encountered a similar problem with submitting a form multiple times when reloading the page. Try this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/665399/how-do-i-stop-the-back-and-refresh...; see also this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get, and the various external links there.

HTH.
