 Within the install documentation for IIS 6.0 the redirect function on the
 Request class needs to be replaced by:

 def redirect(self, url):
         """Send a redirect to the client, forwarding to the specified URL.
 The
         `url` may be relative or absolute, relative URLs will be
 translated
         appropriately.
         """
         base_url = '%s://%s' % ("http", os.getenv('SERVER_NAME'))
         if self.session:
             self.session.save() # has to be done before the redirect is
 sent
         self.send_response(302)
         if not url.startswith('http://') and not
 url.startswith('https://'):
             # Make sure the URL is absolute
             url = absolute_url(self, url)
         ''''''self.send_header('Location', base_url + url)''''''
         self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
         self.send_header('Pragma', 'no-cache')
         self.send_header('Cache-control', 'no-cache')
         self.send_header('Expires', 'Fri, 01 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT')
         self._send_cookie_headers()
         self.end_headers()

         if self.method != 'HEAD':
             self.write('Redirecting...')

         raise RequestDone

 Using this code the redirection after submission will not work -- I
 replaced

 self.send_header('Location', base_url + url)

 by

 self.send_header('Location', url)

 and the system seems to work now without any problem - pls be aware I did
 no further investigation and other cleanup - so if anybody would find a
 clean solution pls let me know
