Session lost after redirect issue

Question

I have an observer on the customer login event. I want to redirect the user to the cart page after login.

I have this in my function from my controller:

Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect('/checkout/cart/');
Mage::app()->getResponse()->sendResponse();
exit;

The fact is that in firefox this code works. In chrome it doesn't. In chrome I always get an empty cart , even if I have products in my cart, just after page refresh I got the items from my cart. What should I change in my code to make this work in chrome too ? Thank you in advance !.

Answer 1

Try this with removing some '/'

Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl('checkout/cart'));
Mage::app()->getResponse()->sendResponse();
exit;
