None of the above. You should not need to use the header() function at all:
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex>
But if you use it, you need to do it as Michael suggested, using
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] in the header field value, for the host name is needed
for an (absolute) URI of the form
http://host/path/
as required by HTTP ─ <http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-
sec14.html> ─ and you don't want to hard-code it.
