Actually you can if you have buffering turned on (IIS 4 you need to set it
either in the Console, or on each page you want it on; With IIS 5 its on by
default). If you execute an Redirect any Responses previsous recorded to be
sent to the browser are thrown away and the Redirect is executed instead.
