Very Computer

I tried the Alias command in srm.conf (NCSA httpd 1.3) and it wouldn't
work, it only works on the same server, but the concept is the same.

To be sure that I'm clear...  In other words, if you requested
http://server1.com/request.html you would actually go to
http://server2.com/actual.html.

If request.html needs to be a CGI script, I can handle that, just need to
know the re-direct code.

Thanks!

Try (in Tcl):

---
#!/usr/local/bin/tcl -f
puts "Location: http://www.harvard.edu/\n\n" ;# 'print' for perl?
---

Works for me! (NCSA + Netscape/Lynx) -Joachim

        Redirect virtual URL
        virtual is the translated location which should trigger a redirect.
        URL is the URL of the new document

        Redirect /dir1 http://newserver.widget.com/dir1

        This would cause requests for /dir1 to be redirected to the new
        location, http://newserver.widget.com/dir1.

This would wait 10 seconds (content="10;) and then access the url specified.

Redirect /request.html http://server2.com/actual.html

...or use the new ErrorDocument command available in httpd 1.4 and a
script.

Hope this helps!

"Location: [YOUR URL] \n\n"

to the server. (All this from a cgi script). You don't need
to include a MIME type, if I'm right this is already a MIME
type.

Good Luck,

However, you *do* need to return "Method: GET" if your CGI was invoked
by a PUT (like a form).  I got bit by that recently, so the pain is
still there. :-)

Just another perl-hacking web-head,

I use the following script from inetd with rcp_wrapper to redirect all
requests from one server to another:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

( $page ) = ( <STDIN> =~ /GET\s+\/(.*)\s+HTTP\/1\.0/i );

$page = "actual.html" if ( $page =~ /request\.html/ );

print <<EOF
HTTP/1.0 302 Found

EOF

- hope this might help,
