Instead of linking directly to "http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin/"; what would
eventually send the referrer to 'www.inter7.com' link to e.g.
http://localhost/cgi-bin/qmailadmin/com/redirect/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inter7.com%2Fqmailadmin%2F
'http://localhost/cgi-bin/qmailadmin' is of course the location of local
qmailadmin installation (should be know to the cgi, shouldn't it *g*)
As you can see the 'normal' parameters 'user', 'time' & 'dom' are not present
so they can not be given in the referrer string.
function 'com->redirect' in qmailadmin now simply take the '$PATH_INFO'
(which is a standard Apache Environment variable), strips the leading '/' and
URL-decodes it. Than is does a simple Header-301 (Location changed) to the
resulting string and the client goes redirected.
HTH, for further questions don't hesitate to write :-)
