Sounds like a nice solution.
Let`s test it. I used a handler like:
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
$r->header_out(Location=> "http://nieuw.nl/harm/p.jpg");
return REDIRECT;
}
and a html file with a link to it. Netscape(linux) and links behave as they
should. IE4 though:
212.204.140.183 - - [10/May/2000:01:33:23 +0200] "GET /mytest HTTP/1.1" 302 270
"http://nieuw.nl/harm/my.html" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95)"
212.204.140.183 - - [10/May/2000:01:33:23 +0200] "GET /harm/p.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 5865
"http://nieuw.nl/harm/my.html" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95)"
It doesn`t clear the referer header!
Any suggestions for better redirection strategies? Generate a html file
whith <meta redirect="blah"> qualifies as ugly ;-)
