Well, I ran into this problem a while back... I solved it by baking my
cookies and sening a Refresh: header to the browser. The format is the
same as the more popularly used META tag. (eg "Refresh: $time;url=$url")
For example, to immediately redirect from /foo to /bar while setting a
cookie, I'd do something like:
$cookie->bake;
$r->header_out("Refresh"=>"0;url=bar");
$r->send_http_header;
return OK;
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you type url= in lowercase. It's usually case
sensitive.
