Redirect one viusalforce page to another page automatically using javascript

Hi folks,
    Can anyone tell me how to redirect one visualforce page to another visualforce page automatically ?
below is my visualforce page : 
<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="AccountDownload" 
contentType="application/msWord/#Test-{!NOW()}.doc"
   recordSetVar="accounts" sidebar="false"  cache="true"> 
    
    <html xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word">
        <head>
            
        
        </head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
         
        <body>                       
            <apex:form >
                <apex:pageBlock title="Archiver For Account">
                     <div style="text-align:left" >          
                         <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!accounts}" var="ac" >
                             <apex:column headerValue="AccountName">
                                 <apex:outputText >{!ac.Name}</apex:outputText>
                             </apex:column>
                             <apex:column headerValue="Account Number">
                                 <apex:outputText >{!ac.AccountNumber}</apex:outputText>
                             </apex:column>
                             <apex:column headerValue="AccountType">
                                 <apex:outputText >{!ac.Type}</apex:outputText>
                             </apex:column>
                             <apex:column headerValue="Phone Number">
                                 <apex:outputText >{!ac.Phone}</apex:outputText>
                             </apex:column>                                       
                         </apex:pageBlockTable>  
                      </div>           
                    </apex:pageBlock>
    
               <apex:outputText value="hi dude,"/>
           </apex:form>
           
        </body>
        <script>
 
            function redirect(){
                window.location.href='https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/AccountasTextfile'; 
            }
 
            window.onload = window.setTimeout(redirect(),5000);
 
        </script>
    </html>
</apex:page>

My question is once the document is downloaded then it will automatically redirect to another page as mentioned above.
I have tried using action attribute,calling redirect method from constructor. but nothing happen.
Finally I got the idea is using javascript we can redirect automatically.
but it dosent work for me.

Someone please tell me what I have to modify.



Thanks in advance

Just replace  
window.onload = window.setTimeout(redirect(),5000);

with
  
window.onload = redirect;

For your reference:

@Nishant Sharma:  It does not work for me.
Is ther any other way to redirect automatically once this download is complete.

Thanks in advance

I suspect two areas:

1. Hardcoded domain.
Replace below code: 
window.location.href='https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/AccountasTextfile';

with 
window.location.href='/apex/AccountasTextfile';

2. Content Type is word document. 
contentType="application/msWord/#Test-{!NOW()}.doc"

Try once by removing this as well and please share behaviour.
