Re: Controller::redirect() issue

I've been receiving some personal comments about this issue to this day. Just
wanted to point out the solution I've been told (I haven't got around
actually testing it).

I obviously want to thank these guys for helping me. As for my problem,
since my proposed solution fixed it for me I didn't spend any more time on
this. However, I just have two components in my site: one already extends
from Object and the other one extends from Component. It's the
PhpThumbComponent from the 7th comment of this page:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/phpthumb-component. I'm not sure,
but maybe my problem was in fact caused by that component extending
Component.
