Redirect to a URL after a delay

delayreq.js

var http = require('http')
,   url = require('url')

,S = http.createServer(function(req, resp) {
    var loc = {Location: url.parse(req.url).query}
    setTimeout(function() {
        resp.writeHead(301, loc), resp.end()
    }, 3000)
}).listen(5000)

Just visit a URL like this:

http://localhost:5000/?http://google.com

which will redirect you to google.com in 3 seconds.
