Please add this to the docstring of CGIHTTPServer:

It can't handle redirects (302) because it returns "200
Script output
follows" before the script is executed.

Verified behavior on Linux -- Apache redirects appropriately,
but the same script run via CGIHTTPServer does not. Plus
it makes sense given the implementation code in CGIHTTPServer.py ;).
