[bz5707658] ac.http.redirect does not work from a child mojit

[rwaldura]

ac.http.redirect is not working because i'm using it in the child mojit.
The parent calls ac.composite.done to collect the children views and stop the execution.
But here, ac.http.redirect stops the child mojit's execution & the parent still keeps on running.

mojito/app/addons/ac/http.server.js - the "redirect" method calls ac.done inside, which will not work in parent-chilren mojit scenario.

@rwaldura this is still an issue, feel free to create a card in trello for prioritization.

Workaround is to pass the parent's action context to the child mojit.

Mixing "ac" from parent to child chould be problematic. I think the solution for this is also related to the work I have done on error propagation from child to parents, etc. I will think more about this.

seems this related to an issue i have, ac.http.redirect is not working in HTMLFrameMojit child, this was working fine in 0.5.2 but got broken by 0.5.3

@sqawasmi can you provide an repro case?

[sqawasmi]

the following is a sample repo:
https://github.com/sqawasmi/htmlframe_mojit_mojito_issue_293.git

in mojito 0.5.2, requesting the following link:
http://127.0.0.1:8666/
will redirect you to http://127.0.0.1:8666/index

however, running the same application using mojito 0.5.3 will give HTTP/1.1 200 OK with "null" in the body.

That's all I need, thanks @sqawasmi. I will try to get this fix for 0.5.5 on monday.

This fix will be included in tomorrow's release!
