[Windmill-dev] Bug in Windmill + Firefox 2,3

[Mikeal Rogers]

Wow, this bug was CRAZY.

Ok, so here is the deal. The login page you're grabbing is generated  
somewhere in your webapp (by the look of the headers most likely  
Zope), and it actually embeds the referrer from the very first page  
load in a hidden form field.

That is then sent in the POST to /login and that returns a 302  
redirect to the hidden referrer field url.

Since the initial referrer is http://testdomain.com/testurl/windmill-serv/remote.html 
  when we reload that url it reloads ALL OF WINDMILL.

I was able to fix it though. Since there should never be a legitimate  
redirect to an url with /windmill-serv from a remote web application I  
can safely remove anything after it from the response headers before  
handing them off to the client.

I re-ran the openplans.py test file and it seems to work completely  
now. I get redirected to the proper location and I get a message  
saying i just logged in so it all looks good :)

This is all checked in to trunk. If you're already running trunk then  
you're golden, if not then let me know and I'll push another release  
as soon as I can.
