Thanks - that makes sense, using a test along the lines of print "Content-Type: text/html\n"; print "Status: 302 Moved\nLocation: http://www.mydomain.com/test.cgi\n\n";print "\n";Seems to do what I want.
That is strange, and I am surprised it works (but I don't know everything).The way you are doing it above, you are still sending an (implicit) HTTP response code of 200 (OK), and then sending a HTTP header "Status:", which is normally not how these things work.
Assuming you are not using CGI.pm, I would have written it as : print "302 Moved\n"; print "Location: http://www.mydomain.com/test.cgi\n\n"; In perl, and using the CGI module, you would have something like : ... use CGI qw/:standard/; ... my $q = new CGI; ... print $q->redirect(-uri=>'http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land', -status=>302); exit 1; See http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/CGI.pm/CGI.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
