in reply to Failure to redirect when my CGI::Application powered site is used under mod_perl2

In plain CGI-mode this works. In mod_perl it gives me the following output direct to my browser:

Try 

lwp-request -m get -USsexd http://whatever/cgi/
lwp-request -m get -USsex http://whatever/cgi/

    I'm not familiar with those commands, but here is what they produce:

      To reply to myself it seems that I have two solutions:

      • Use CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect
      • Update my code:
      sub redirectURL
{
    my ( $self, $url ) = (@_);
    $self->header_type('redirect');
    $self->header_add( -url => $url ,
                       -status => 301 );
    return;
}

      [download]

      That redundent "return" seems to make things work properly in my demo and real application.

      I guess the return value of "header_add" is causing problems ..
