in thread Why don't I get a redirect

That is all well and good, but the question remains. How come I don't get a redirect with the original code. Yes, I can do all that by hand, but that does not help me.

So, what is it about my code that fails to do the redirect or is there something on the server that purposely does not give me the redirect? The telnet stuff is interesting for testing but is not ultimately the way I want to do it.

I admit it, I am Paco.

    You didn't understand. There is no redirect. The "redirect" consists of loading the target page in a window-filling frameset. As such, it has nothing to do with HTTP and consequently isn't handled by the LWP modules.

      Now, that all makes sense. I didn't notice it until you mentioned the frameset, but another part of the code that handles framesets should have handled it correctly but failed bec of a bug with trailing slashes (see my other post) that I have fixed since. Now, it all works. Thanks for the jogging of my mind :)
