You can't. HTTP headers don't work that way.

The only way to achieve this behaviour is to include HTML/JavaScript
code which causes a new window to automatically appear. But note that
that's exactly what a pop-up is, and most browsers have pop-up blockers
nowadays, because people don't like them...
