Redirect
Redirect [status] url-path url Server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
The Redirect directive maps an old URL into a new
one. The new URL is returned to the client, which attempts to fetch
the information again from the new address.
url-path is a (%-decoded) path; any requests for
documents beginning with this path will be returned a redirect error
to a new (%-encoded) URL beginning with url.
Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service
If the client requests http://myserver/service/foo.txt, it will be told to access http://foo2.bar.com/service/foo.txt instead.
Redirect directives take precedence over
Alias and ScriptAlias
directives, irrespective of their ordering in the configuration file.
Also, url-path must be an absolute path, not a
relative path, even when used with .htaccess
files or inside of <Directory> sections.
If no status argument is given, the redirect will
be “temporary” (HTTP status 302).
This indicates to the client that the resource has moved temporarily.
The status argument can be used to return other
HTTP status codes:
permanent
Returns a permanent redirect status (301) indicating that the resource has moved permanently.
temp
Returns a temporary redirect status (302). This is the default.
seeother
Returns a “See Other” status (303) indicating that the resource has been replaced.
gone
Returns a “Gone” status (410)
indicating that the resource has been permanently removed. When this
status is used, the url argument should be
omitted.
Other status codes can be returned by giving the numeric status code
as the value of status. If the status is between
300 and 399, the url argument must be present,
otherwise it must be omitted. Note that the status must be known to
the Apache code (see the function
send_error_response in
http_protocol.c).
