Hi,
I have a loosely coupled web app (one part uses PHP, the other uses WGSI). The WSGI/python framework shares the authentication with the PHP app, meaning that generally, the user should
- Log in via the PHP interface
- Now the user can access any of the WSGI pages [this part works if the user has logged in]
What I want to do though, is if a user tries to access a WSGI page while not logged in (maybe from a previous bookmark), I would like to redirect him to the login page, and after logging in redirect him back to the orignal URL.
I'm not very experienced with server-side programming, so here are my questions.
How should I redirect the user back to the PHP login page? What should the HTTP status code be? Do I need to set any extra header information?
What is a good way/best practice method to pass the original URL to the login page, and then after logging have it redirect the user back.
Thank you!
