You mean response code 200 with a Location: header? Never tried that, will
try. If that's the case, then it's a huge security flaw (only in some
particular browser, or all of them?). With 200, Location: header, if
present, should be simply ignored by the browser. It should have any
meaning only with 3xx response codes.

They may use hidden frames, use Javascript to send the actual page URL to a
"wrapper" script that is the main address in the address bar, or use all
kinds of tricky techniques.

That's very bad.
