I'm going crazy but I'm unable to find how can I set an external link
for a form action.
In my Pylons application I created a form that have to be processed
by a credit card security site.
So in <form action="..."> I had put the external link directly. But it
doesn't work. When I click on the submit button, nothing happen.
What does "View Source" show in the browser? The behavior is consistent with <form action="" method="POST" />, which could happen if url_for returned None. That in turn would indicate it couldn't match the route name, and then we'd have to investigate why.
Also, what happens if you replace the h.url_for call with ``url('credit_card')``. url_for is gradually being replaced by pylons.url, which has a different implementation and thus may behave differently.
Another possiblility is that a different route is matching, something earlier in the route definitions.
As a workaround, you can use a 'c' variable for the URL. Routes does not provide much advantage for external URLs, other than the convenience of defining them in the route map.

The page source is ok. The form tag is full filled.

I tried without any result.

Nothing happen :-((
In all cases I see "waiting for localhost" in the browser and nothing
happen.

I'm very stupid and blind!!!!
I started from another template and tomorrow checking the source of
the page, I had see that there was another form tag
(<form action="">) before the correct tag. So the behaviour of Pylons
was correct.
