Help on redirect url parameter

Mon Oct 20 14:22:23 EDT 1997

     The meta refresh at 
     http://www.orst.edu/instruct/engr485-585/ browser redirect 
     is now working. It was the qoutes that initially caused me 
     trouble. However, do you know anything about the .htaccess 
     file Redirect command. That would useful to know as well. It 
     seems when I use the construction:
     
     Redirect /dept/instruct/engr485-585/ http://www.orst.edu/~matylonj
     
     in a .htaccess file located in the engr485-585 directory
     
     to have the server redirect a browser from the index.html in 
     the engr485-585 directory to the tilde directory, I get a 
     server error message about a misconfiguration. Any ideas? Am 
     using the .htaccess file correctly? It seems like srm.conf 
     is set to allow .htaccess files.

<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="«time»; URL=http://www.somewhere.org">
     
where «time» is the time, in seconds, the browser will wait till it 
starts to access the new url - if it is 0, then it will load the new doc 
immediately (please note the browser will start counting the time after 
the current document is completely loaded) - being a META tag, it must 
be placed in the <HEAD> section of your doc
     
hope it was what you were asking for
