shak380 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In our CGI::Application code we have a redirect like this : 
sub run_mode_xxx {

    return $self->header_props( -uri => $url );
}

[download]
It did not work on either Apache1 or Apache2. So I changed it like this : 
sub run_mode_xxx {

    $self->header_add( -location => $url );
    return;
}

[download]
Now, it works on Apache2, but Apache1 shows "The document has moved here". We have tried with : 
return $self->header_props( -uri => $url );

[download]
Still no luck. Any thoughts/fixes will be highly appreciated. Thanks

    The best way to debug problems like this is to look at it from the client side, using a debugger such as Firebug, the Developer menu in Safari, etc.   Look at the actual content of the HTTP message that is being sent and received in each case.   Now, locate a web-site that now does what you want it to do, and compare the two exchanges.   Now you know, not only what the Perl code you’ve written is actually doing, but what it needs to do.   This gives you a specific target to shoot for ... and if the perldocs don’t tell you, the source-code will.

    I have a redirect method in my CGI::Application base class that looks like this: 
    sub redirect {
    my ($self, $location) = @_; 

    $self->header_type('redirect');
    $self->header_add(-location => $location);

    return;
}
