modperl2 redirect

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

I am trying to fix a redirect problem under modperl2. I am using ModPerl::Registry.

The issue is that at the time I want to do the redirect I may or may not have already added some headers and in modperl2 there is no send_http_headers method any more....they just say to set the content_type and that will send out the headers....well what content_type do I use for a redirect?!?

I am obviously doing something really stupid here...but my brain is totally fried so I hope someone can just point me in the right direction.

Thanks :-D

Amazing how right after you spend days trying to figure something out, you ask for help and then figure it out on your own within 5 minutes of asking for that help hehe. The solution was to just have: `print "\n";` after `$r->headers_out->add('Location' => $redirect);` Everything works now....	[reply] [d/l] [select]

While that might work, I don't think it's "right." See the recipes in here: mod_perl: Cooking Recipes. This might be right, untested. `$r->headers_out->set(Location => $location); $r->status(Apache2::Const::REDIRECT); return Apache2::Const::REDIRECT;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
