Flash, before_filter and redirect_to

Rails
1

I leave a notice in the flash and do a redirect from a before_filter.

Can someone confirm that the first request after this, i.e. the page I
redirect to, doesn’t/isn’t supposed to clear the flash?

Likewise, all the methods added will be available for all controllers.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :allow?

def allow?
if controller_name == ‘foo’
flash[:notice] = 'Not allowed to access foo! – Time: ’ +
Time.new.to_s
puts “****** Setting flash *******”
redirect_to :controller => ‘legal’, :action => “l1”
return false
end
true
end
