Just a little more insight into what may be happening. After trying most of your fine suggestions, it seems these ideas would work except fot the header I use: "print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";" However, this script will not run without that header in place. Just errors out with: Internal Server Error. So - it's looking like I have to abandon the idea of doing a redirect from this particular script, unless I can find a replacement for that header that will still allow the script to run.
