Right, so I'm doing a little hacking at
MeatBall:CrystalPalace tonight instead of
studying for my midterm (having achieved brain freeze), and
I get to the point where I need to do a HTTP redirect. No
problem, I just do a simple
print "Location: $url\n\n";
which adequately makes MSIE4 load the right page. All is
good...
Until I read the location bar. Instead of pointing to
crystal.pl?Foo%20Bar, it's pointing to just
crystal.pl! Crap!
I'm dieing everywhere trying to trace this
bugger. Then I remember seeing and fixing the same thing
when Cliff
upgraded UseModWiki to do the same thing. "How did
I fix it?" I wonder. "How did I fix it?"
Bammo. I remember. I close MSIE, reopen it, try it again.
Sure enough, the location bar shows the correct URL. What
was wrong? MSIE4's cache. @?$#(*&!!!
