HTTP redirect

Overview

You can use the HTTP Redirect filter to enable API Gateway to send an HTTP redirect message. For example, you can send an HTTP redirect to force a client to enter user credentials on an HTML login page if no HTTP cookie already exists. Alternatively, you can send an HTTP redirect if a web page has moved to a new URL address.

See also HTTP status code.

Content-Type:
Enter the Content-Type of the HTTP redirect message (for example, text/xml).
