Feature Request: http header HX-Redirect with value back

[rdehuyss]

I would like to propose a feature related to the http header HX-Redirect: would it be possible to send back(-x) instead of an url?

Use case:

• I have a popup for an entity which has a unique url that can be triggered from different pages (so different referer urls)
• this form has a delete button allowing to delete this entity
• ideally, the user would go back after deleting the entity

Personally I would prefer a more explicit approach to header magic, such as:

hx-on::after-request="if (event.detail.successful) history.back()"

If you’re bent on keeping the logic server-side, you might send <script>history.back();</script>, but client-side seems preferable to me.

@JanRomero I'm not sure I agree with the framing that headers are "Magic" I mean HTTP verbs are at the core of HTMX and they have support for these hearers. Plus it seems to work with HX-Redirect.
