Did you test with multiple browsers? IE is slavishly devoted to file extentions and disregards Content-type headers. Mozilla is pretty much the exact opposite.
This works:
<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('http://dogjoy.freezope.org/redirect.html')"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
But this doesn't:
<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('http://dogjoy.freezope.org/redirect.pdf')"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
So, OK, you're right, it works in Opera. The point is, *none* of my visitors use Opera, and in actual fact, almost none use anything but Explorer. My site looks like crap in Netscape 4, but I decided not to care. I first noticed the problem as visitors began pounding my script (with Explorer) . Face it, only geeks like us use Mozilla, Opera, etc. Is there a fix for the browser that my customers use? What I am trying to do is hide the actual URLs to protect my data, and at the same time record outbound clicks. I'm just looking for a solution. Thanks! Ken

I'm not sure what you saying here. I've faced up to this long ago. I know only geeks use Mozilla and I never said anything to the contrary. Only that it is probably a browser bug, not a Zope problem. This implies asking the zope list for help is probably not going to be super productive.

You can hide URLs by use of frames. This isn't a great solution since it busts bookmarks and only hides URLs from the very stupid (those who can't find 'View frame source' on a menu). Besides, redirect won't hide URLs from end users. That's not how redirect works.
