Description:
------------
Currently when performing the 'Jump' action, the
'display' action is set as a GET variable, which I feel
looks inelegant from an end-user perspective.

I have experimented with the 'Jump' and 'Controller'
classes to temporarily use the container's SESSION
variables to store these values instead, which keeps the
URL much cleaner.

Reproduce code:
---------------
View the files 'Controller.php' and 'Jump.php' at:-

http://www.peptolab.com/developer/pear/Controller.phps

- The function getActionName() has been modified to use the session action/name in the event that no valid REQUEST variables are present. If no valid session action is available, then use the 'default' action.

http://www.peptolab.com/developer/pear/Jump.phps

- A reference to the SESSION is made, the page and action are set, the URL is constructed as normal and the redirection occurs.

P.S. Is there any reason the HTTP::redirect method is not used?

Expected result:
----------------
The controller will function as expected, but not
display any url query throughout the process

Actual result:
--------------
As above (hopefully!)

What sort of arrogant, patronising response is that?

It DOESN'T break the next/forward browser buttons (if
you had bothered to test the code).

The wonderful technology called "Frames" DOES break
next/forward buttons, especially when it comes to
multiple frame changes.

I can't believe a member of this group would reply with
such a terse response when submitting objective
suggestions. Open source, closed mind.
