It never gets drawn by the browser. Safari complains of multiple 
redirect directives, whereas http-access-log reports on multiple sends 
of index.php

I've tested it on every web browser I can think of, from Mozillla to 
lynx. Same behavior.

I've just been fiddling with telnet a bit further and I may be getting

is indeed returning a 302 response to the browser.  Hmmm...
