Redirect inside of <Directory XYZ> does not pass environment back to the browser

           Summary: Redirect inside of <Directory XYZ> does not pass
                    environment back to the browser
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.26
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sean.m.alderman@grc.nasa.gov


The following configuration example causes loss of the query string...

Servername xxx.xxx.com
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
<Directory />
Redirect /cgi-bin/ http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/

...

</Directory>

-----
With the above config -
Browser is pointed to http://xxx.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi?q=abc
Browser is sent a 302 with new location at http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi
-----

Using the redirect outside of the <Directory XYZ> block functions properly

ServerName xxx.xxx.com
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/
Redirect /cgi-bin/ http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/
<Directory />
...
</Directory>

----
Browser points to http://xxx.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi?q=abc
Browser is sent a 302 with location of http://yyy.xxx.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi?q=abc
----

I have tested this repeatedly on RedHat 7.3 and Solaris 8.  Verifying both
visually with the browser and a network sniff.
