[mod_python] Problem setting cookie and then redirecting

Do this:

req.headers_out['Set-Cookie']='key=value'
req.headers_out['location'] = 'http://localhost/index.html'
req.status = apache.HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY
req.send_http_header()
return apache.OK

The last line doesn't really matter since req.status is set and headers
already went out.
