[Tutor] Redirect from a CGI script

[Paulino]

Still doesn't work.

This should be a server issue, once I use a very basic server:

'from BaseHTTPServer import HTTPServer 
'from CGIHTTPServer import CGIHTTPRequestHandler
'HTTPServer(("localhost", 80),CGIHTTPRequestHandler).serve_forever()

I tryed also with the Karrigel embeded server and nothing happened...

I tryed all the sugestions from Andre with no succes.

The cgi script as only these two lines:
'print "Content-type:    text/html\r\n"
'print "Location:        http://python.org/\r\n\r"

I have a Win Xp pro machine with Python2.5.
