Redirect paramater does not work

[ivok]

I am using zfcuser on ZF3 and when pass a redirect parameter to login page it does not work. In zf2 I did not have any problems.
Example: /user/login?redirect=/about

Also, if I enter dummy data in form and the forms fails, but the redirect param disappererd.

Why the redirect param in query/post expects a value which is the name of the route? The getRedirect() method assembles the route by its name and return redirect string. In that way you can redirect only to a named route not a url. If I want to redirect to e specific url, let say .../product/sample-product-one, I actualy cant do this because the getRedirect() and query param "redirect" expects a name of route not a specific endpoint?

The getRedirect() method also brakes at switch statement. If I send trough redirect param a valid route name like "home/about" it is transformed to "%2Fhome%2Fabout" and the assemble() method of the router fails becouse it cannot match route name. It should be urldecoded before trying to assemble

Also the method routeExists() returns always false, no matter that I passed a valid route name, for the same reasons above?

To make this functionality partialy works, I had to refactor routeExists() method and getRedirect() method also.

But the big problem persist. In that way, we cannot redirect user to a specific url... not a named route. I want to redirect user on a specific product/article/page with id/slug/param.

Here I have a possible solution with added availability of passing not only route names but a specific url route

@Perfect-Web You can use my fork as you have to point to redirect branch. But I did not made any tests. It works for me now, but not sure what future problems may occur

"require": {
       ...
       "zf-commons/zfc-user": "dev-redirect"
}
"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "git@github.com:ivok/ZfcUser.git"
        }
    ],

Hi @ivok

I have the same issue with ZF2 (using ZfcUser v1.4.4). With your branch the redirect works as expected.

It's a very strange behavior... it's a bug? or I'm missing something?

@imonteiro This is not a bug. This is a good practice to allow only named routes. But in some cases I need this functionality and that is why I made this fork. But you have to be very careful for vulnerabilities.
