that would help :)  in cases like this, telnet is your friend, and would
certainly show if you had properly set the Location header for the redirect.

also, don't forget that Location is supposed to use an absolute URI (even
though we mostly cheat with relative ones like you have here).

you should only do this if you are running from a Registry script, not
directly from a PerlHandler

since you are returning a non-OK status you should not be sending headers
like this.
