[Seaside] WATask and browser re-direct

[Johan Brichau]

Hi Frank,

You only get back to the control flow following #call: when you send an #answer: in a callback.
If you do not want that, you can also use #show: instead of #call: (see http://book.seaside.st/book/components/calling/show-answer)

Maybe you should explain a bit more on what you are doing. It seems a little strange to me to call a component to do a redirect. 
Maybe we can help a bit more.

Johan
