 Why is there a different way in which WordPress handles Windows Servers
 Vs. Linux Servers HTTP headers. On my Windows machines I get the following
 header for redirection:

 {{{
 HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 Refresh: 0;url=/wp-admin/options-misc.php?updated=true
 }}}

 On my Linux machines I get the following header for redirection:

 {{{
 HTTP/1.1 302
 Location: /wp-admin/options-misc.php?updated=true
 }}}

 The reason I mention this is I get this unsightly flicker in my browser
 when the refresh is used but I get a very nice transition in my browser
 when the 302 redirect is used.

 I also mention this because being a developer myself, I know that code
 consolidation makes debugging and upgrading much easier.
