How does the ZF2 redirect plugin handle the Location-Header in PHP, and what implications does this have for URL redirection?

The ZF2 redirect plugin in PHP handles the Location-Header by setting the HTTP status code to 302 (Found) and the Location header to the specified URL for redirection. This means that when the redirect is triggered, the browser will receive a 302 status code along with the new URL to which it should redirect. This ensures that the redirection is performed correctly and consistently across different browsers. 

// Example code snippet using ZF2 redirect plugin to redirect to a new URL
use Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController;
use Zend\Http\Response;

class YourController extends AbstractActionController
{
    public function yourAction()
    {
        $response = $this->getResponse();
        $response->setStatusCode(Response::STATUS_CODE_302);
        $response->getHeaders()->addHeaderLine('Location', 'http://example.com/new-url');
        return $this->response;
    }
}
