2.3.119 Redirect

Description

Redirect redirects the requests sent from clients to the old path, to a new path.

If a request for the old path was received, a response with the specified status code and a new path set to the Location header is returned. Normally, if the web browser receives a 300-series status code, the browser automatically redirects requests to the address specified in the Location header.

The Redirect directive redirects a request for a specific file to another specific file, or redirects a request for a path in a specific directory to a path with the same name in another specific directory. To redirect a request for a path in a specific directory to another specific directory, use the RedirectMatch directive.
