I am trying to make a script that check for a cookie and redirects the user to one page if it does not exists. If it exists I don't want the script to do anything so the reset of the HTML page that calls it (via SSI) loads. Problem is I can't figure out how to make the redirect happen. Can anyone help me? The code I have is:
#!perl -w use strict; use CGI q~:standard~; use DBI; use CGI::Cookie; use CGI::Carp q~fatalsToBrowser~; my(%Cookies, @Values, $Username, $Password, $Error, $DBH, $STH); print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; %Cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie; if ($Cookies{'FFAdmin0229'}) { @Values = $Cookies{'FFAdmin0229'} -> value; $Username = $Values[0]; $Password = $Values[1]; } else { print redirect(-location => 'http://admin.ffinfo.com/'); }
The redirect code works on the login check script but when I use it here it just prints "Status: 302 Found Location: http://admin.ffinfo.com/" The HTML code I am using is this
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:/ +/www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!--#exec cgi="/ssi/checkcookie.pl"--> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
