When a request for one page automatically sends you to another page?

Answer 1

There are various redirects. The most common and best one to use is a 301 redirect.

You can create one using a variety of languages.

PHP

<?

Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );

Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" );

?>

JAVA

<%

response.setStatus(301);

response.setHeader( "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/" );

response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" );

%>

ASP

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<%

Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"

Response.AddHeader "Location","http://www.new-url.com/"

%>

ASP .NET

<script runat="server">

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";

Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.new-url.com");

}

</script>
