Struct rocket::response::Redirect

pub struct Redirect(_, _);

An empty redirect response to a given URL.

This type simplifies returning a redirect response to the client.

Methods

impl Redirect

pub fn to(uri: &str) -> Redirect

Construct a temporary "see other" (303) redirect response. This is the typical response when redirecting a user to another page. This type of redirect indicates that the client should look elsewhere, but always via a GET request, for a given resource.

Examples

use rocket::response::Redirect;

let redirect = Redirect::to("/other_url");

pub fn temporary(uri: &str) -> Redirect

Construct a "temporary" (307) redirect response. This response instructs the client to reissue the current request to a different URL, maintaining the contents of the request identically. This means that, for example, a POST request will be resent, contents included, to the requested URL.

Examples

use rocket::response::Redirect;

let redirect = Redirect::temporary("/other_url");

pub fn permanent(uri: &str) -> Redirect

Construct a "permanent" (308) redirect response. This redirect must only be used for permanent redirects as it is cached by clients. This response instructs the client to reissue requests for the current URL to a different URL, now and in the future, maintaining the contents of the request identically. This means that, for example, a POST request will be resent, contents included, to the requested URL.

Examples

use rocket::response::Redirect;

let redirect = Redirect::permanent("/other_url");

pub fn found(uri: &str) -> Redirect

Construct a temporary "found" (302) redirect response. This response instructs the client to reissue the current request to a different URL, ideally maintaining the contents of the request identically. Unfortunately, different clients may respond differently to this type of redirect, so 303 or 307 redirects, which disambiguate, are preferred.

Examples

use rocket::response::Redirect;

let redirect = Redirect::found("/other_url");

pub fn moved(uri: &str) -> Redirect

Construct a permanent "moved" (301) redirect response. This response should only be used for permanent redirects as it can be cached by browsers. Because different clients may respond differently to this type of redirect, a 308 redirect, which disambiguates, is preferred.

Examples

use rocket::response::Redirect;

let redirect = Redirect::moved("/other_url");
