Note, this is not an issue with how the web2py HTTP() class works. This is simply how browsers deal with response codes. A response code of 200 means OK, so does not prompt the browser to redirect. If you want the browser to redirect, you have to send a 3xx code (or use Javascript to change the window.location, as already suggested). See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html.
