Good day all i am learning CGI using perl and i developed simple script that redirect a user based on form selection to a given website. the code follows below.
if($query->param('op') eq "ds")
{
print $query->redirect($query->param('website'));
}else
{
print"
<html><head><title>Web redirection</title></head>
<body>
<form action=\"redirect.pl\" method=\"post\" >
<fieldset>
<legend>Kindly select a website to visit</legend>
<strong>Select a website form the list:</strong>
<select name=\"website\">
<option value=\"www.sedocaonline.com\">Sedocaonline.com</option>
<option value=\"http://www.yahoo.co.uk\">Yahoo.co.uk</option>
<option value=\"http://www.play.com\">play.com</option>
</select>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"ds\" >
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Browse the web\">
</form>
</body>
</html>";
}
The issue here is the code does not redirect the user to the selected website it gives this respond code on the browser.
Status: 302 Found Location: www.sedocaonline.com
