NAME¶
CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect - Easy external redirects in CGI::Application
SYNOPSIS¶
package My::App;
use CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect;
sub cgiapp_prerun {
my $self = shift;
if ( << not logged in >> ) {
return $self->redirect('login.html');
}
}
sub byebye {
my $self = shift;
return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/', '301 Moved Permanently');
}
DESCRIPTION¶
This plugin provides an easy way to do external redirects in CGI::Application.
You don't have to worry about setting headers or worrying about return types,
as that is all handled for you.
"redirect" does an external redirect, which means that the browser
will receive a command to load a new page, and a fresh request will come in.
If you just want to display the results of another runmode within the same
module, then it is often sufficient to use the "forward" method in
CGI::Application::Plugin::Forward instead.
METHODS¶
redirect($url, $status)¶
Interupt the current request, and redirect to an external URL. If you happen to
be inside a prerun method when you call this, the current runmode will
automatically be short circuited so that it will not execute. As soon as all
prerun method have finished, the redirect will happen without the runmode
being executed.
The $status parameter is optional as the CGI module will default to something
suitable.
return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/');
- or -
return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/', '301 Moved Permanently');
