Yes, specifically you want to set a Location header: Location: http://url.to/location This is documented on page 61 of RFC 2616 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt I admit, an RFC is not the easiest introduction to a protocol, but it's great for answering specific questions. Be thankful the IETF did HTTP and not the W3C. Finally, you can get some idea how it's done by finding out how other people do it. Firefox has a plugin that lets you see responses and requests, though I highly recommend getting familiar with Wireshark. I could be a lot more effective at using Wireshark myself, but it's easy to get started and works well on HTTP. http://www.wireshark.org/ Best, Leon _______________________________________________ Snap mailing list [email protected] http://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/snap
