take a look at the internal_redirect docs - once you call internal_redirect
you need to return OK - no additional logic is allowed. so, you can't both
$sub->internal_redirect() and $sub->run().
basically, if in your content handler you want Apache to redirect to a
different URI use $r->internal_redirect.
if you want to test attributes of a given URI or file (say, whether the
current $r->remote_user would be able to view the file if they accessed it
directly), then you would create a subrequest with lookup_file() or
lookup_uri(). if you find that the subrequest passes your tests, you can
$sub->run() to send the file directly to the client, or call whatever logic
you like to send your own content to the client (including
$r->internal_redirect).
