Http redirect
An HTTP redirect is a response that instructs a client to request or display a resource at a different location.
Pro ASP.NET Core 7, Tenth Edition
HTTP redirection is an HTTP response mechanism that instructs a client to request a different URL or endpoint.
- How it is used
- Uses redirects to move clients between controller endpoints, complete form submissions, and display a production error page.
- How deep it goes
- Works through controller redirect methods and client behavior, then applies redirects in form and exception-handling flows without detailing HTTP status codes.
- Examples
- Tests a product redirect with Invoke-RestMethod and uses a Razor Pages form whose submitted data appears on a results page.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via ASP.NET Core controller action results or Razor Pages form handlers, and select local-only redirects for user-provided URLs.
