IntrFilt Redirection


Redirection allows you to achieve three effects:
  1. Move a set of pages to another server without having to change all external references
  2. Record the number of references taken to an external link from your own pages.

Redirection is achieved by reference to the incoming URL. The incoming URL (without the "http:\\server\")is checked against the redirection list, and if a match is found, then the matching part of the URL is replaced with the target URL, and a Redirect response is sent to the client.

For example, a Redirection entry of "guardian,http://www.gre.co.uk,NONOTIFY" would behave as follows when URL http://w3.ip7co.uk/guardian/index.html is received:

If the target URL has no server defined, then the current server is added to the target URL. (See also Multiple Host support)

The redirection list is defined in the Globals file, and each entry has the format:

The redirection settings are stored in the Globals file for each host under the following section:
