[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Link to login to catalog then redirect to another site

[Bill Erickson]

Hi George,

The TPAC login page supports a redirect_to URL parameter like so:

https://bill-dev2.esilibrary.com/eg/opac/login?redirect_to=http://evergreen-ils.org

On successful login, the browser will redirect the user to the redirect_to
URL.  Beware, though, the TPAC will modify the redirect_to URL to use SSL
(https://), regardless of the protocol used in the parameter.  This may not
be what you intend.
