RE: Redirect question

[John.C.Kennedy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Priya,
I tried:
Redirect permanent /index.jsp http://server/app/index.jsp
and definitely got the loop you are
referring to. The URL came out as:
http://server/appappappappappappappappappappappappappappapp

I also tried the following with the
same result:

Redirect permanent / http://server/app/index.jsp
Redirect permanent /* http://server/app/index.jsp
Redirect permanent /*/ http://server/app/index.jsp

Is there any other info that I can give
that would help?

Thanks,
John





I think the redirect rule
entered into a loop and unable  to process
 
Did  you try 
Redirect permanent /application
 http://server/application
 
Does /application internally
call any JSP before loading the page?
 
For eg: in or env, we have
a /*, that internally calls a index.jsp and then index.jsp internally calls
login.jsp
 
I had to say
 
 Redirect /*/loginjsp
 https://example.com
to make it work.
 
Thanks
Priya

Subject:  Redirect question
 

I have checked the archives since I am sure this has been asked before
but can not find an answer.

I have an application running on a server at:
http://server/application

My user wants me to set up so that 
http://application
will redirect to: 
http://server/application

I have DNS set up and now if I go to:
http://application/application
the correct page is displayed. I just can not seem to get
http://application
to go to the right place. 

I have tried to use Redirect:
Redirect permanent / http://server/application
but I then get: 
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.

What am I doing wrong? 

Thanks, 
John
