Redirect with code 301

[Alexander Hoch]

Hi,

I solved the problem:

The controller functions checks for request.env and if its not the domain, web2py will raise an HTTP 301 error and the site will redirected with the request.args.

I will see if google will track this as security issue. My browsers (ie, chrome and firefox) do the redirection without warning.

Here is the code:

def check_host():

   if request.env.http_host != 'www.new_website.de':

       raise HTTP(301,

                  Location = str(URL(c= str(request.controller), f= str(request.function), args= request.args, host='www.new_website.de', scheme='https')))

def index():
   check_host()

Hello Alexander,

what you're trying will be blocked by most browsers since it is security issue. That a website is redirecting the user to another website is always suspicious.

What you can try, is to solve this by a CNAME Resource Record. The other way around redirecting from an outside domain to pythonanywhere is described here:

https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/CustomDomains/

But just try to contact pythonanywhere's service by writing a mail. They will try to help as they always do.

Best regards

Clemens

Hello,

I want to redict the "website.pythonanywhere.com/.../123/=abc" to "www.newwebsite.de/.../123/=abc". 

I tried it with https://www.nakedssl.com/ but this doesnt work as described in https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/NakedDomains for me.

There is another suggestion in deploying a flask app and redirect with the this sample code: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/RedirectWebApp/

Is there an equivalent solution in web2py? or is there some possiblity to change routes.py to redirect a request.env to the new  "www.newwebsite.de/.../123/=abc".  with variables, functions and argument.

This is too difficult for hobby programmer. I really would appreciate your help.

Cheers ;)
