"/" is not a valid URI for a Location. According to RFC 2616, the Location must be an absolute URI: but it is valid in apache, for mod_cgi scripts and mod_perl scripts that have PerlSendHeader On. apache will do an internal redirect if the url is not absolute.

RE: Wierd problem with redirect
Yeah, and I got it towork, turns out I needed an absolute path too. I saw that answer but since the reasn that was given is because it's in Apache, it didn't seem to apply.

I'm not 100% sure but iirc according to the HTTP spec Location should be absolute. I remember having trouble once while doing contracting work for a company that used Netscape servers, they just threw 500s when they saw a relative redirect. From: ___cliff rayman___ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] actually \n\r\ is really how it is supposed to be. i am sure you will find it in the RFC's. most browsers seem to be okay with \n's only. Again I'm not sure but I think Apache does the conversion for you. .Robin Brain damage is all in your head.

Re: Wierd problem with redirect
Hello, Thanks for the suggestion. However, I have a problem still left out. The redirection is loading the redirected page properly. But, it still shows the URL as the same from where it is redirected. As below: My form calls the script "/scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=delmaillang=ENadno=1". In visitorinfo,.cgi, I have following steps print "Content-type: text/html\n"; print "$mycookie\n"; print "Location: /scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdramp;lang=EN\n\n"; exit 0; It really goes to the page mailhdr with appropriate details. But the address in the browser is still "/scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=delmaillang=ENadno=1". This gives a problem. If the user reloads the page, it will again try to do what I am doing in this, which I don't want to happen. How do I make the address (URL) to change according to the page it is showing.

You might want to try adding a Status 302 (moved temporarily) header. I don't know if it would solve your problem, but it shouldn't hurt since it's already "broken" in your eyes. :-) -- Drew Taylor Vialogix Communications, Inc. 501 N.
