What does the log say? I looked at some actions and you'd use the 
http_redirect method on the request in that environment, but I don't know if 
that works for macros, mostly because macros are executed during output 
production, at which point it's probably a bit late to attempt a redirect: 
the HTTP status code will have been set and page content partially written.
