And according to PHP specification, "Location" header must contain fully
qualified address, including protocol identificator and host name.

BTW, nothing wrong in sending some output before header() call... if You
REALLY know what You doing. That all depends on Your host configuration.

Wrong. From the PHP manual under the header function:

"Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent,
either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP."

You CANNOT send output before a header() call. And don't try to claim
you can use ob_start(), etc. That just masks the problem, not solves it.
