HttpRedirect

This metabase property specifies the directory or URL to which a client is redirected when attempting to access a specific resource. There are two general forms that the value for this property can take.

The simple format is Destination,Flag, where Destination can specify either a URL or a virtual path to a file. Flag can have one of three values: EXACT_DESTINATION indicates that the value provided for Destination should be considered an absolute target location; CHILD_ONLY indicates that the value should be added to the beginning of the file name of the request to be redirected; and PERMANENT indicates that this redirection will be permanent for this resource.

The more complex form of specification for this property involves the use of wildcards. The format is *; Wildcard1; Destination1; Wildcard2; Destination2, Flag. Each Wildcard; Destination pair indicates that requests matching the wildcard are redirected to the specified destination. Flag can have the same values as the simple string format.
