Re: Redirect

Not that I have a need for this feature in mathopd.  But I find that a
redirect done as a http header is much faster and transparent compared to
the meta tag "equivalent".  In general, using http headers for redirects,
cache settings, etc is more reliable or faster so I tend to never use meta
tags for features than can be done at the http header level.
