If you output anything to the user you can no longer do an HTTP redirect
by the very definition of how things work. You could do a Javascript
timed redirect, but if you output something for the user to see are you
really going to suddenly change the page on them without giving them a
chance to read it? Normally that is considered very bad UI design.
