Do you think the clients browser goes and Posts the form again to the new
URL?
No, I don't think that is what's happening.
Once you post the info, the script is processing
it and doing the redirect, but I don't think it is
posting the entire string of nv pairs again.
If this is what is happening, is the solution to use: print "Location:
$url\n\n";
I don't really know that it is 'the' solution, but
I think it accomplishes what you want. Whether
or not it's any faster, you would just have to
test it and see.
Will this work for all browsers?
I believe so, but I defer the official answer to
that question to people on the list who are
better qualified than I to answer it.
Thanks
