Subject: cgi redirect

in perl, this is easy:

my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->redirect("http://foo.bar.baz/");'

gives:
Status: 302 Moved
location: http://foo.bar.baz/

in ruby there is no CGI#redirect, the only way i could think of was:

print cgi.header({'Status' => '302 Moved', 'location' =>
'http://foo.bar.baz/'})

gives:
Content-Type: text/html
Status: 302 Moved
location: http://foo.bar.baz/

nil
irb(main):004:0> 

but it still prints the content-type header.  any good way around this
without doing it manually?  i know there's a solution for mod_ruby,
but cgi.rb really should have a redirect method as well i think.
