Flashdata and refresh

[eluser]clip[/eluser]
If this is the flow of your app,
a. cart full of stuff
b. set flashdata with current link
c. click link to login (request)
------Here you should be able to access flashdata and where you would set keep_flashdata()-------
d. enter login info and submit.(request)
e. if login info is authenticated, log the user in and redirect back to a.

keep_flashdata should work, I'm not aware that it is only valid on a redirect.
