I think you know you can return Apache2::Const::REDIRECT or
Apache2::Const::HTTP_SEE_OTHER along with a location header and have the
browser do the redirect. But I think that is not what you want, right?
If you don't want the browser to see the actual location of the mp4 file then
you need $r->internal_redirect:
use Apache2::SubRequest ();
...
if ( is_valid_ip($ip) ){
$r->internal_redirect('/path/12345.mp4');
return Apache2::Const::OK;
