The HttpRedirect property specifies the directory or URL to which a client is redirected when attempting to access a specific resource. There are two general forms that the value for this property can take.
The simple format is Destination,Flag.
-
Where Destination can specify either a URL or a virtual path to a file.
-
Where Flag can have one of four values:
-
EXACT_DESTINATION indicates that the value provided for Destination should be considered an absolute target location.
-
CHILD_ONLY indicates that the value should be added to the beginning of the file name of the request to be redirected.
-
PERMANENT indicates that this redirection is permanent for this resource.
-
TEMPORARY indicates that this redirection is temporary for this resource.
The more complex form involves the use of wildcards. The format is *; Wildcard1; Destination1; Wildcard2; Destination2, Flag. Each Wildcard; Destination pair indicates that requests matching the wildcard are redirected to the specified destination. Flag can have the same values as the simple string format.
