You can't do that if you've already printed your HTTP headers (as happens when you're using a plain HTML file). You might want to use a meta-tag redirect. Put the <!--#exec cgi=".."--> in the <head>, and have it do something like this if it finds and validates the cookie: print q~<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.jedimike.net/";>~ . "\n"; # (no returns in that, despite what my email client thinks) That isn't a lightning-fast HTTP redirect, though. Another alternative is to just have the CGI serve up the entire page. It could read from and print your existing page if the cookie wasn't validated, and simply print redirect headers if it is. None of those options are pretty, but I can't think of anything cleaner at the moment. hth, -- Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
