Re: [fw-mvc] Lost flash messages after redirect

No, that does not make sense. The point of a flash message is to transport a message to the next immediate request. Usually when you have a "POST-REDIRECT-GET" scenario.

Why does the page have to make a second redirect?

Imagine the following scenario:

The user performs some (state changing) action. The system does it and redirects him with a flash message to a page. But the page makes a second redirect to somewhere and - since this is another request - the message it lost without the user seeing it.

Would it be better if clearing the messages (The call to $this->resetNamespace(); at line 99 in Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_FlashMessenger) be performed only when the request is not a redirect. And since this would break BC - it could be a switch that is off be default? Does it makes sence?
