Re: Header() makes session expire (fqdn?)

i don't even know what a 300 level redirect is, so i hope i'm not doing that. thx anyway, and i see that you can use uri's within Header. why do most code references I see use fqdns in their header functions. it seems like it would just add extra load to some part of the system. thx again. jeremy brand wrote: > It may be that you are not speaking proper HTTP.
