Mike,
What I would do it make your CGI write out a redirect header only if a
certain value ISNT set.
IE
get it to redirect to the url like this
yourpage.com.au/yourpage.cgi?refresh=1
then do an if then else like this
if $refresh != 1 then
echo <HEAD redirect='yourpage.com.au/yourpage.cgi?refresh=1'>
end if
The first time it gets there $refresh wont equal 1 therefore it will
print out the redirect statement
(PS .. this is all pseudo code :)
