If you don't follow the HTTP specification, you can't expect the browser
to do the right thing. "/" is not a valid URI for a Location. According
to RFC 2616, the Location must be an absolute URI:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30
In RFC 2396, an absolute URI is defined as:
absoluteURI = scheme ":" ( hier_part | opaque_part )
So your method is not valid, and you deserve whatever the browser does to
you. You should do this instead:
Location: http://mysite.com/\n\r
