99.99999% of the time, people doing this are just re-directing to a
page on their own server.
You can play with all kinds of weird things for the rest of you
career, lose all you hair, and chew a lot of aspirin, while you are
WASTING http connections bouncing the client / server connection like
a cheap rubber ball (only it's a very EXPENSIVE rubber ball)...
*OR* you could wise up and just INCLUDE the file you are currently
using header("Location: ") to get to.
You might have to re-structure your web application a tiny bit, but it
will be a better structure than the mess I usually see with all these
re-directs.
You'll certainly save on bandwidth/hardware as your connections aren't
chewed up by re-directs.
And, most importantly, you'll have a solution that "just works" on all
the browsers, as you eliminate the cookie/location conflict.
I can pretty much guarantee somebody will post how well re-direct +
cookies works for them, and I'm full of it. I don't see how that
could be true with extensive browser-testing... Oh well. Choose your
poison.
