[Seaside] Updating browser history from an ajax response

[Siemen Baader]

Hi,

Not really answering your questions, but I think this is what Iliad is for. There you have access to a restful URL on every (xhr) request and every WAComponent is transparently updated via xhr, including when you use call-answer. 

Just FYI. :)
