[Gllug] HTTP redirects failing

[Murray]

I don't think this is directly related, but IE6 allows you to disable meta
refreshes as a "security" measure.  It's hidden in the custom security
dialogs.

I can't for the life of me understand why this would be a security issue.
Plus, the fact that if you do it "properly" with the HTTP headers, it
doesn't matter how you configure IE, it will obey the redirect.
