The
redirect
function lets you change URLs and send the updated URL to the
client. When a client accesses your server with an old path, the server treats the
request as a request for the new URL.
Parameters

dir="/export/home/cgi-bin" name="cgi"

versa).

the URL before sending it. It should be
yes
or
no
