[Plugin: Permalink Redirect] Producing and showing content before redirect (1 post)

    Hello. While testing permalink redirect 1.01 from http://yoast.com/wordpress/permalink-redirect/ on IIS 6.0 with Wordpress 2.7.1, I've noticed an odd behavior. I can see substantial parts of the page before the redirect occurs.

    The plugin uses
    wp_redirect($url,301)
    which in wp-includes/pluggable.php results in a
    header("Refresh: 0;url=$location")

    I ask for your opinion on a potential code change to no longer produce and show the content if a redirect is to occur.

    In some quick testing, I added one line to permalink-redirect.php after line 40 which is the call to wp_redirect. That new code is:
    exit();

    Do you think this change is safe and will result in successful redirects while not producing or showing any page content?
