 Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2004 8:20 pm Post subject: Location redirect - address bar of the browser |
 |
|
| Win98, IE5, Abbys X1 1.1, C++. My form uses CGI to sent data to the server. At the end of cgi code I use: printf("Location: / \r\n\r\n"); Redirection works, the start page "/" loads, but the address bar is still "http://myServer/cgi-bin/myScript.exe"! Why isn't it "http://myServer/" as I have redirected? Browser issue or server? |

Toc_vremenno,
When you redirect the page to a relative URL, the server will perform an internal redirection and that's why your browser won't notice it. This behavior saves bandwidth and makes things faster (and is very convenient in many situations).
To force a "browser redirection", you must use a full URL as in:
| Code: | | Location: http://mysite/ |
