Absolute redirects about weasel HOT 9 CLOSED

This is already implemented. See example config here:

from weasel.

As far as I understand what redirects does is append the redirected path to the redirect target (what I would call a "relative" redirect). What I needed was an "absolute" redirect. Unless I'm missing something I don't think this issue should be closed.

from weasel.

if host is example.com and another.host is another.example.com, then

"host/": "https://another.host"

will redirect:

• example.com to https://another.example.com
• example.com/foo/bar?foo=bar to https://another.example.com/foo/bar?foo=bar

Isn't that what you need?

from weasel.

No I need to be able to redirect to a different path, not just a different host. If you look at my initial comment you'll see for example:

"/getting-started.html": "https://goa.design/learn/guide"

which redirects:

"goa.design/getting-started.html" to "https://goa.design/learn/guide"

from weasel.

Ah, I see. Sorry for misreading. That can be done with the std http package, no need for weasel:

http.Handle("/getting-started.html", http.RedirectHandler("https://goa.design/learn/guide", 301))

Right that's how I ended up implementing the "absolute redirect" feature, just thought it would be useful for these redirects to also appear in the config to keep all these things in one place.

from weasel.

Right. I'm trying to move weasel away from imposing a certain config format. Working on a change to leave the config part up to the user and provide some examples instead.

Sounds good, looking forward to it!

Cool. I'll mention you in a PR for a review. Thanks!
