NARF should.

require 'narf'
output = ""
CGI.process( :out => output){ |cgi|
    cgi.set_redirect( "new_location.com" )
}
puts output

# this script outputs:
Content-Type: text/html
Location: new_location.com
Status: 302
Set-Cookie: _session_id=545508609cdfcd19; path=


hmmmmm is this correct?  Narf automagically creates sessions for you,
that's what the Set-Cookie is for.  But is the content-type header
harmful?  What about a status of "302" rather than "302 Moved"?

Let me know so I can fix the behavior!

Thanks,
