redirect is meant to send the web page to a URL address. I haven't
tried it myself, but I assume you could say
    redirect("http://www.google.com";)
URL(r=request,f='first') will generate a url that will direct you to
your application's function named 'first'.
The URL function does the heavy lifting in terms of generating the
full URL path, which can often be complex to do by hand so it's quite
useful. Look at p. 102 in the doc for info on the URL function.
I'm not 100% sure that you need the r=request argument in your call.
Maybe someone else can elucidate on that.
