[TYPO3-mvc] Creating a dynamic back-button for error page

[Claus Due]

That should also work although it changes logic a bit.

If all else fails you can add the referrer as arguments in URL and define those as optional arguments for the controller action you choose - then, you could use both forward() and redirect() based on those values. But, using originalRequest is preferred, definitely.

The error message is displayed above and everything else is as it's supposed to be. It works (so far, probably needs more testing), so let's hope the client likes this approach as well.
