Meta refresh doesn't include GET

[ki4jgt]

I have a CGI server running with python as my language of choice. In it I have the following code:



if cgi.FieldStorage().getvalue("p") == "None":
print """<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=index.py?p=1">"""


However, I do not get redirected to index.py?p=1

I don't know this API, but =="None" shouldn't be ==None ?

ofnuts is right. cgi.FieldStorage.getvalue returns the object None, not the string "None", if the value isn't found. You are effectively checking for index.py?p=None
Technically it should be == None (note the space) if you want to follow Python conventions. :P
