Refactor: 27 December 2024: Checked links and formatting. This is really old. If you're really looking for something like this contact me and I'll make you something. Please don't use this anymore.

apache, html

This is a HTML redirect script. Replace '/gw/webacc' two times with where you want your web server to redirect and you're done. If your webserver listens to both http and https it will work for both protocols.

<html>
   <!-- This is all just a super-duper redirect to the Welcome page
        If the user has Javascript 1.1 installed, they don't get their history
        messed up.  Otherwise, it behaves like a normal redirect, and even has
        fallbacks to non JS and browsers that don't handle the meta refresh tag
     -->
   <head>
      <script language="JavaScript">
         <!--
         var sThisURL = unescape('/gw/webacc');
 
         function doRedirect()
         {
            actualRedirect();
         }
 
         function actualRedirect()
         {
            setTimeout( "top.location.href = sThisURL", 500 );
         }
         //-->
      </script>
      <script language="JavaScript1.1">
         <!--
         function actualRedirect()
         {
            // this is a better way to do it if we have JS 1.1, not adding
            // to the browser's history
            top.location.replace( sThisURL );
         }
 
         if ( "MSIE" == navigator.appName )
         doRedirect();
 
         //-->
      </script>
   </head>
   <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=/gw/webacc" target="top">
 
   <body bgcolor="white" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" onLoad="doRedirect()">
   </body>
</html>

The redirect here is the redirect used for the login page for groupwise 7. For groupwise 6.5 it would be '/servlet/webacc'.
