[ciapug] header redirects in IE

[Lathrop Preston]

A trick that usually will work to create that full path is to do this

header("Location:http://".strtolower($HTTP_HOST)."/login.php");

that way if you develop on one box and move to another one for live the 
path with change automagically

also handy if you have firewall wierdness (ie have to use an "internal" 
domain inside to see the server)
