location.href is a *property* you have to assign a value to, not a
method. Because way too many people prefer do not read references but
do whatever *they* think is right, IE team added a support for
location.href(s omeURL) which is against of any specs but let the above
mentioned people keep on not reading references.
:-) :-|

Change your code from the IE-specific hack
location.href(s omeURL);
to the proper form supported by all UA's including IE:
location.href = someURL;

For example, let us suppose the CGI program's table indicates xyz -> /this/that/the.other.thing.html, then redirect.cgi?xyz results in the page /this/that... being sent. redirect.cgi is usually in another directory than the page it is to supply. This works fine as far as it goes. A problem arises when the actual...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
