Is the meta tag above a redirect command?
Why canīt opera understand this command?
I believe, this is a http standard.

I believe, a permanent redirect in any statistic program or webserver
log file give you a hint to optimize your site. But in this case, how
can you call any cgi script per default like "www.yourdomain.com"?
