Add $viaCache parameter in TWiki::Func::redirectCgiQuery sub redirectCgiQuery { my( $query, $url, $passthru, $viaCache ) = @_; ... }

Add $viaCache parameter in TWiki::redirect sub redirect { my( $this, $url, $passthru, $viaCache ) = @_; .... if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq 'POST' || $viaCache ) { # Redirecting from a port to a get my $cache = $this->cacheQuery(); .... }

What is the use case?

We can prettify a redirected URL. For example, when using SendEmailPlugin, user might invoke "sendemail" addon with a "GET" url like this: http://kd197c1n5.ms.com:10014/cgi-bin/sendemail?to=xxx&subject=xxx&body=xxx&redirect=xxxxxxxxx. In such case, we can make "SendEmailPlugin" always redirecting to a prettified URL without those params for sending email.
