= Problem =

From one Quixote handler, you want to send the user to a different URL.

= Solution =

Use the  `redirect()` method of HTTPRequest.  It sets the proper header to redirect the client and returns a 
small HTML page with a link to the new location in case the client doesn't follow redirects properly.

{{{
return request.redirect("http://www.example.com")
}}}

The method passes the current URL and the string argument you provide to Python's `urlparse.urljoin()` function,
so you can use relative paths.

{{{
return request.redirect("../catalog")
}}}

You can also use the `HTTPRequest.get_url(N)` method to get the current URL with N components removed.
If the current URL is "http://example.com/abc/def/", the following code will redirect to "http://example.com/abc":

{{{
return request.redirect(request.get_url(1))
}}}
