Apache::ASP Response Redirect question

[Rod Butcher <rb...@hyena.com.au>]

Can anybody please tell me whether the following internal redirect
causes the new URL to be sent back to the browser which then asks for
foo.htm to be served up, or does Apache simply serve up foo.htm
automatically ? The comments in ASP.PM are very cryptic.

$Response->Redirect("foo.htm")

Or is there a better (more efficient) way to do this ?

Thanks
Rod

Thanks Ged and Joshua, I have now read the documentation, mea culpa, and
upgraded to ASP.pm 2.03. Following works now for a fast internal
redirect :-

$Response->Clear();
$file = $Server->MapPath("foo.htm");
$Server->Transfer("$file");

Almost gone Ged ... not soon enough though ;)

$Response->Redirect() is an external redirect, 
$Server->Transfer() is an internal redirect 
and is what you are looking for Rod.  Please 
read the docs fully to know how you can use ASP
maximally.  The distribution README like Ged said,
or the site http://www.apache-asp.org.

But the documentation isn't!  Have a look in the README.
