Note Submitter: colfer at nomail dot tld ---- Perl users beware, if you are used to printing headers to Apache, PHP will likely work differently. I am on a typical Apache/Linux server and I found that # php header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); header("Location: ".$url); works the same as # perl print "Status: 301 Location: $url\n\n"; Both produced the proper headers HTTP/1.1 301... Location: ... Connection: close... and neither method worked in the other language. In other words: # php: Did not work, in either order: header("Location: ".$url); header("Status: 301"); # php: Not needed: header("Connection: close"); This is contrary to some of the comments below, so you may want to try both methods and check the actual headers your server returns. The telnet method is this: telnet domain.tld 80 GET /page.htm HTTP/1.0 (return-return)
