Help with page redirect

[Peter Heywood]

Today I learned how to write and read cookies in eruby but I'm looking
for a better way "ruby way" of doing something.

I read to see if the user has my cookie. If they have read the page
already and allowed a cookie I want to send them automatically to
another page.

This is what I have:

<% if cookie == 'true' %>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=/page/index" />
<%else%>
I put in my content
<%end%>

Surely there is a better ruby way than using a meta tag?

Thanks in advance,
Peter
