I've seen a number of code examples for redirects which output a root-relative URI in the Location header. Eg:
Location: /images/item1.gif Although browsers seem to accept this and do 'the right thing', the HTTP RFC seems to be pretty clear that the Location header must be an absolute URI. Am I reading it wrong? Is there an easy way to get the absolute URI of the current request to use with Apache::URI->parse to translate a relative URI to absolute? I have managed to get the hostname, port number and path components individually from the request object and paste them together but it's all a bit messy. Regards Grant
