[TYPO3-mvc] redirect results in quite ugly url

Hey guys,

yes, use "forward" instead of "redirect". A redirect will send a 
location header to a new URI, whereas a forward is only forwarding the 
request to another controller/action internally (URL is not changing). 
So forward is most likely what you're looking for. Forward also has the 
benefit that you don't have to mess with the request arguments, those 
are automatically passed to the forwarded action.

Example:

public function proxyAction($someFlag) {
	if ($someFlag === 'save') {
		$this->forward('save');
	} else {
		$this->forward('whatever');
	}
}
