[TYPO3-mvc] Forwarding action without loosing request parameters

[Thomas "Thasmo" Deinhamer]

That's all a bit weird.

I changed the method to 'redirect()', but now the following accours:

If I use method="post" in the <f:form> tag, it will redirect me to 
http://my-domain.tld//<title>.<id>.<type>.html?&tx_ext_plugin[action]=index&tx_ext_plugin[controller]=PluginController&cHash=<hash>

The weird is, that the two "//" won't be recognized by TYPO3 and the
homepage will be shown with no error-handling page defined in the 
install-tool. (Also 'index' as controller is wrong, but should be 
overwritten with the POST variable anyways.)

If I use method="get" in the <f:form> tag, the form action attribute of 
http://my-domain.tld/<title>.<id>.<type>.html?&tx_ext_plugin[action]=calculate&tx_ext_plugin[controller]=PluginController&cHash=<hash>
won't be used as the destination uri, further more ONLY the valuepairs 
which are in the form will be sent as querystring, which resulst in:
http://my-domain.tld//<title>.<id>.<type>.html?tx_ext_plugin[__referrer][extensionName]=ExtName&tx_ext_plugin[__referrer][controllerName]=PluginContro... 
which completely skips the dstination controller 'calculate' which was 
set in the action or the form.

I'm using Firefox 3.5.4.

Any ideas? Is this a bug?

Thanks!
