NAME
Ns_ConnRedirect - Internally redirect a request to a new local url
SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h"
int
Ns_ConnRedirect(conn, url)
ARGUMENTS
Ns_Conn conn (in) Pointer to open connection.
char *url (in) Pointer to string of local url.

DESCRIPTION
This routine can be used to internally redirect to a new, local url on the server. The url paramter specifies a path relative to the
server, i.e., without the leading "http://host:port" portion. The server will reset the Ns_Request structure in the open connection
pointed to by conn and restart connection handling, including authorization checks. The result is a standard AOLserver request procedure
result code, either from an underlying call to Ns_ConnRunRequest or the result of one of the authorization response routines such as
Ns_ConnReturnForbidden. Filter callbacks, if any, are not run again with the updated connection.
The Ns_ConnRedirect routine is used internally in the server to support the basic file serving code (i.e., "fastpath") to redirect to spe-
cific files when a directory is opened and by the Ns_RegisterRedirect routine to map standard reponse routines to user-provided local
url's.
EXAMPLE
The following example demonstrates redirecting to an ADP help page within a custom C-level request callback whenever a ?help=topic query
argument is present:
int
MyRequest(void *arg, Ns_Conn *conn)
{
Ns_Set *query = Ns_ConnGetQuery(conn);
/* Redirect to help.adp for /myrequest?help=topic calls. */
if (Ns_SetGet(query, "help")) != NULL) {
return Ns_ConnReturnRedirect(conn, "/help.adp");
}
... handle non-help requests ...
}
