A redirect needs to be done before (actually, instead of) sending content
to the user: it works by sending a header:
Location:http://localhost:8080/campus/pdf/iep.pdf
Whereas your text is presumably meant to be in the body of the response.
Review the structure of HTTP requests and responses if you aren't clear
on why this is.
