redirecting the browser

redirecting the browser 23. September 2004

Sometimes it's useful to redirect read requests, here is how.

A typical use of redirection would be to redirect read requests to a directory to the index.html page in the directory. That's what popular web servers usually do. To achieve that effect return this:

   <d:output d:xmlns="mind" d:location="
  (read-locator (msg 'location-format)
    `("index.html" . ,(msg 'location)))
">
    <d:copy-of select="(fetch "index.html")">
   </d:output>

Note that an attribute location is attached to the output element. The protocol adaptor will create the appropriate HTTP headers and code.
