How to redirect to an absolute URL

[Ryan]

This:
redirect('http://www.website.com')

Will redirect to:
http://www.myapp.com/http://www.website.com

I'd like it to redirect to:
http://www.website.com

Is there an addition argument I can pass to redirect to make it happen?

Hi,

Have you tried with a static route ?

then:

redirect(url('google'))

Hmmm... seems like a lot of work to set up a route just to do a
redirect. The URL I want to redirect to is absolute, but it's actually
on my domain, so guess I'll just use a regex to put it in relative
form.

For pylons 1.0 and a redirect executed in a controller action the
following should work-

Note: make sure you set the imports below in the controller file or in
some other module such as, say, helpers.py

from pylons.controllers.util import redirect
from pylons import url


def testController(BaseController):

def test_redirect(self):
return redirect(url('http://www.cnn.com'))

With Pylons 1.0 the following should work:

Note: The imports below should be set in the controller file or in
another module such as, say, helpers.py

......

from pylons.controllers.util import redirect
from pylons import url

.......

def testController(BaseController):

def test_redirect(self):
return redirect(url('http://www.cnn.com'))

I'm assuming a controller action. If this is the case you can set-up
the following imports in the controller file

from pylons import url
from pylons.controllers.util redirect

Then within the controller action return the redirect

def TestController(BaseController):

def test_redirect(self):
return redirect(url('http://www.cnn.com'))

Just needed to wrap in a url() method. Thanks.
