Address bar & redirects

| Why doesn't my IE address bar reflect successful redirects?
Also, does this list have an archive?
Thanks.

That's an IE thing -- depending upon how the redirect was accomplished.

see lists.perl.org and look up beginners-cgi

It was accomplished *exactly* like the one that got me to
where the next redirect doesn't change the address bar. How
can I guarantee an address bar change?

That is one way URL cloaking works -- icky or not. All one has to do
is right-click and select "show this frame only." Easy.
About URL not changing in IE -- this is not within the scope of this
list; please see -
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.ieak
Or better still, one of the comp.infosystems.* sub-groups - maybe -
comp.infosystems.www.misc

Sorry. Just thought that since I'm using CGI.pm to perform a
redirect and the browser doesn't reflect that successful redirect,
maybe someone (else) had a helpful clue. I'll see if Microsoft
knows anything about CGI.pm. :)

The problem you are having isn't related to CGI.pm -- you are stuck
between a rock and a hard-place -- so then you must research it
yourself ... which you may find you have little control over remote
sites and URLs, etc...
However, before you go traipsing off to research - try using
target="_new" and have the NEW url open in a NEW window. Maybe read
http://htmlref.com/ and http://w3.org/ --- sites along those lines...

Perhaps an internal redirect is being used? Show us the script that's
issuing the redirect.

or not, since:
(a) New windows are a usability hazard
(b) _new is not an allowed value for the target attribute (you seem to
be thinking of _blank)
(c) _top would be more apropriate
and
(d) you can't use targets in anything automatic

I guess CGIs write themselves now =/
At any rate. What does (or does not) show in Broswer-X's URL address
bar is not really a CGI.pm question.
Many things can be done both by client and server to give hard-to-debug results.

The above URI is a frameset (eugh, icky frames). If an http resource
loaded into the frameset performs a redirect then the URI won't change
becuase the URI in the addressbar is not a reference to the document
performing the redirect.
If you want to break out of frames you need some sort of client side
technology. JavaScript framebusters are not difficult to find, but are
out of scope for this mailing list.

I'm really not clear what you are refering to by "It" or "the one"
here.

Then either:
(a) The URI you provided is not one to a site you are running (so why
did you bring it up?)
or
(b) (more likely) You have chosen a third party domain name hosting
solution with is frames based and are not taking responsibility for
it.
Either way, the problem you are experiencing has nothing whatsoever
with any redirects you use Perl for.
> or JavaScript.
JavaScript is the usual way to escape from frames, not something I
noticed the site you referenced using.
(Relevant background lost as I'm too busy to repair other people's top
posting).
