Correct Redirect: Redirects your users to the correct page from a webredirect
Author: Shamim Islam

Version: 1.0
Requires: Php v3.0.18 or higher

*****************************************************************************

If you have ever used a redirecting service, you know that the redirect,
regardless of the typed in URL, always goes to the hardcoded URL, unless
you yourself handle the redirecting. Especially when the webredirect is done
in a frame.

*****************************************************************************

E.G.

http://www.myserver.com/testpage.html

using a redirect service goes to

http://realserver.myserver.com/

instead of

http://realserver.myserver.com/testpage.html

*****************************************************************************

Any attempt to use JavaScript to fix this problem fails usually due to browser
security issues.
