Hi monks,
Im using windows 2k pro, apache, IE
The problem is with page redirect; this is my code “login scripts”;
 
#Get user ID and password …..
#Validate user……
#Of the user is validated {
#create session 
#create the cookie
     $cookie = $query->cookie(CGISESSID => $session->id);
#send the cookie to the browser
      print $query->header( -cookie=>$cookie );
#redirct the user to welcome page
      print $query -> redirect("http://localhost/cgi-bin/welcome.pl");
+ 
}else{ get out

the redirect bit is not working, and if I call the redirect before the cookie header, it works! But the cookie header is ignored and no cookie is sent, so I cannot track the user movement!
I have seen many questions about header() and redirect() and which one needs to be written first! And frankly there aren’t enough details, especially with cookie headers.
So:
1. can I send both the cookie and redirect at the same time?
2. how can I flush out the buffer?
3. is there a way to stop page refreshing initiated by the client?

well they said perl is flexible!

Regards
