Python, cgi and redirect

Fri May 19 20:41:39 EDT 2000

I think it's worth it to mention one more detail about this:
You can write a redirect directly into the header of the HTML (before the
<HTML> tag)

   print 'Content-type: text/html'
   print 'Refresh: 1; URL=/whatever.html'
   print
   print
   print <HTML> ....
