| |  URL Redirection in CGI
Hi
How to redirect to a url of a site's particular page.I had tried like this in my prog. Is it correct?
Redirection url:
http://www.gmail.com/login.cgi?LOGIN=abc&PASSWORD=123&domain=google.com &page=inbox
The problem that I am facing is that it takes gmail site but not using the parameters in the url(LOGIN=abc&PASSWORD=123&domain=google.com&page= inbox).
Any help will be greatly appreciable!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you have a redirection problem.
There are Perl modules that might be useful to you: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=gmail |

I haven't understood what "this issue" is. Make a better effort to explain what it is you want to accomplish. Also, post a short but complete script, that we can copy and run, and that demonstrates the problem you are having.

Hi
url redirection is very easy
suppose u have a cgi program called home.pl which displays home page...but now u want the users to goto yahoo home page everytime they try to access the home.pl page.. to do this u need to change the code of home.pl to this -
#!c:\perl\bin\perl
-
-
use CGI;
-
my $co = new CGI();
-
-
$co->redirect('http://www.yahoo.com');
-

this will do the job for u.

http://yahoomail.co.in/user=abc,password=abc
it wont work... a session id which is created is unique and cant be replicated using url.

hi,
browser uses HTTPS when sending user and password to google site and receives some auth cookies.
about the redirection, here is my suggestion: -
#!/usr/bin/perl
-
print "Location: http://domain.com\n\n";
