You might try putting the following in a simple HTML response: <html> <head> <script language=javascript> location = "http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit/AltuitMain/default.htm";; </script> </head> </html>
where location is the destination you wish to send the user. -Chipp -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sivakatirswami Sent: Monday, December 24, 2001 8:35 PM To: Metacard List Subject: redirect 404's with .mt script/Location: Header I am trying to create a MC cgi that will handle 404's and tell the client browsers (as well as robots/spiders) where to go: I signed up on the Apache List and someone there said it was as simple as sending back out to the browser a "Location:" header with no body.... in PERL it looks like this: ===== print "Location: $URI\n\n"; where $URI is a variable containing the location you want to redirect to. ========= So, thinking it was that simple I did this: on startUp # This MetaTalk script sends a "Location: " header to the browser # telling the browser where to go to get the correct page # poke variable with a URI put "http://www.himalayanacademy.com/"; into newURL # send the header all by itself put "Location: " & quote & newURL & quote & cr & cr end startup Now, the script works to the extent of not generating a server error, but the browser returns "This document contains no data" i.e. my first take on this is: the header was not interpreted as a directive, but instead the browser is trying to render the input from the .mt script... what did I do wrong? Sorry, if this crosses the line between a request for HTTP protocol assistance vs a request for MC assistance.. . I searched all apache Docs for something clear enough to implement but couldn't find it...
