Here is the request:
GET /default.ida HTTP/1.0
Here is what your server returns:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2001 22:18:42 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Debian/GNU
Location: http://www.gnubies.com/mess.html
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

The Location: header signals the user agent that the resource is
at a different location (redirect). The user agent is usually a
browser that knows how to do this (the HTML code is there
in case it does not). Code Red ignores Location:. Don't know
if nimba does or not.
