Subject: Re: Problems with 301 redirects
From: unknown@simplemachines.org ("Unknown W. Brackets")

Shouldn't you use...

header('HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://...');

That is what I've always used and it's worked for me.  Additionally, the 
method you have suggested does not work for me.
