[Rails] @session["return_to"]

[Jarkko Laine]

Just a guess (I hope someone can confirm this):

@session["return_to"] is always the "referrer" of the request, i.e. the 
page where you came from to the new page. In your case, when you submit 
the form you are coming to a "new" page, even if that page is the same 
where the form was. Then it's in a way quite natural that the return_to 
address changes upon form submit as (or if) it is supposed to 
dynamically point to the last page visited.
