Rails - Aug 2006 - Why doesn''t redirect_to handle rjs?

Is there a good reason why redirect_to doesn''t check responds_to, so  
it can handle redirects in rjs calls?  I''ve done something like this  
in my app controller, seems to work ok...

alias_method :redirect_to_orig, :redirect_to;
   def redirect_to(options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference)
     respond_to do |accepts|
       accepts.html do
         redirect_to_orig options, parameters_for_method_reference
       end
       accepts.js do
         render :update do |page|
           page.redirect_to options
         end
       end
     end
   end


Am I doing something broken there, or shall I submit a patch?

Hi Jonathan,

Did you ever figure this out?  I''m having what looks to me like a
related
problem.

Thanks,
Bill
