Just for fun, I've been experimenting with URL redirection using the "Location" header sent before html.

Below is my Arduino code that makes the web page I am serving at http://thatsgoodbob.dyndns.org:8248/

The page redirects, as expected, to http://google.com when viewed in Firefox or Chrome.

BUT ... if I try to view the page in IE 8 or IE 9, no redirection happens, and the page in the code below appears.


I know this is not really an Arduino issue, but all of the answers I've found on the web have to do with PHP, which is not the issue here.

Does anything see anything in my code that explains what is happening ?

Thank you for helping me.

Code:
   
  client.println("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
  client.println("Location: http://google.com");
  client.println("Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");
  client.println("Connection: close");
  client.println();

  client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN\">");
  client.println("<html>");
  client.println("<body>");
  client.println("<h2>You should not be seeing this page . . .");
  client.println("</h2>"); 
  client.println("<br>"); 
  client.println("Because \"Location: http://google.com\" is in the header before the html.<br><br>");
  client.println("It redirects as expected in FF and Chrome.<br><br>");
  client.println("But this page displays in IE 8, 9<br><br>");
  client.println("What am I doing wrong ? <br><br>");

  client.println("</body>");
  client.println("</html>");
  client.stop();

Read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_location

Try a trailing slash.

Adding trailing slash to http://google.com did not change behavior.
Still works in FF, Chrome.
Not in IE 8, 9.
Thanks anyway though !

I reported a bug to Microsoft once. Thirty years ago, I think. I'm still waiting for a response.

Maybe the IE people don't want their users being redirected to undesirable/unintended sites.

OK.
I beat it into submission.
The following code redirects properly in IE, FF and Chrome.
Problem seems to have been a missing <head> tag.
See http://thatsgoodbob.dyndns.org:8248 for demo.
Will be available for a short time longer.

Code follows.
Thanks for helping me !

Bob W.

Code:
  client.print("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently\r\n");
  client.print("Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:19:46 GMT\r\n");
  client.print("Server: Apache\r\n");
  client.print("Location: http://google.com/\r\n");
  client.print("Content-Length: 523\r\n");
  client.print("Connection: close\r\n");
  client.print("Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n");
  client.print("\r\n");


  client.print("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN\">\n");
  client.print("<html><head>\n");
  client.print("<title>Test Page</title>\n");
  client.print("</head><body>\n");
  client.print("<h2>You should not be seeing this page . . .</h2>\n"); 
  client.print("<br>"); 
  client.print("Because \"Location: http://google.com\" is in the header before the html.<br><br>");
  client.print("It redirects as expected in FF and Chrome.<br><br>");
  client.print("But this page displays in IE 8, 9<br><br>");
  client.print("What am I doing wrong ? <br><br>");
  client.print("(v0.08 Monday)<br><br>");

  client.print("</body>");
  client.print("</html>\n");
  client.stop();
