Why is that? I'm not that familiar with the view mechanism, but why would it be any different than the saving storage view that gets called, displays stuff, and then moves on to the next one? Or does that use a trick like you refer to but in a scenario where you have to?

Hmm. Would I be able to detect in the interceptor whether or not the request was going to complete with a redirect? Or would I need to use this mechanism for both the redirect and post scenarios rather than add content to the post view? Wouldn't this mechanism also require a meta-refresh or other JavaScript automation in order to load "$flowExecutionUrl&_eventId_proceed=1" to proceed without any user interaction?

Thanks...
