Apache Redirect
Summary: On this page I'll show you a redirect which can be used in a apache webserver.
Date: Around 2009
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.
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'.
