I have two applications using ASP.NET MVC, each with multiple controllers.
I want to do a redirect from application A to application B, but only for a single route on application A (one controller).
Eg.
/applicationA/issue/* should redirect to /applicationB/issue/
/applicationA/quality/ should not redirect
The examples for IIS redirection are showing me examples of how to click on a file/folder and enable redirection, but I'm trying to do a route, not a physical path.
I don't want to modify the ASP.NET source (if at all possible).
Thanks.
edit - this is in IIS6 on Win2k3.
Yeah, that last bit is a real caveat. If this were on IIS7, it'd be 100% easier!
You could download another app to do the redirecting work, but then it wouldn't be hard to edit the MVC app. Assuming that /issue/ and /quality/ are different routes, why not just do something like this:
public class MyController
{
public RedirectResult Issue()
{
//return as a redirect
return Redirect("http://applicationb/issue");
}
public ActionResult Quality()
{
//This is here to show that, instead of redirecting, it returns a view.
return View();
}
}
You could use URLRewriting.NET to do the redirection based on a regex pattern.
