I’m build an application along RESTful principles. I have a user-facing form that POSTS to create a new comment, the URL for that action is POST {article}/comment
After the POST happens, I want to redirect the user to GET {article}/thanks
But I’m not sure how to implement this. It seems un-RESTful for the POST {article}/comment resource to also have the logic knowing about the next step for the underlying {article}
Any thoughts? Thanks!
You should consider applying AJAX principles to submit your form, receive a success/fail/other response from the server, and to take further action (redirect) based on that response.
You will find a lot of help using some frameworks like jQuery that will help posing your form and process responses, take a look at this blog post, especially its consume part.
