“You are being redirected.” now being displayed when I go to my page.  
Before it would take me to the page that I specified as the one I wanted  
to load.

I recently upgraded to the latest Rails (1.1.2 I think).

“You are being redirected.” is being rendered from my “content/index”  
which does redirect to “content/list”. Before my upgrade to 1.1.2, it  
didn’t give me a stale screen with “You are being redirected.”

The text is not sent from routes.rb. That file is correctly sending the  
visitor to “content/index”.

When I tried to change routes.rb to read

map.connect “”, :controller =\> “content”, :action =\> “list”

It gave me a circular error that always showed “You are being  
redirected.”

The reason the “You are being redirected.” was being displayed on the  
screen is improper caching on my part.

I was a caching an action that was redirecting.
