[cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL [SOLVED]
Hey folks, I know this discussion of 301 redirects is a couple weeks old, and that Ryan says he's solved the problem, but I don't recall anyone bringing something that could be useful, if one's on CF8 (and I don't recall Ryan saying if he is). CFLOCATION now accepts the StatusCode as an attribute itself, so you can do a 301 with CFLOCATION. It muddies the waters a bit, since for so long all have associated CFLocation instantly as being a 302, as in this thread. Oh well. It's Christmas. Consider it a new toy. :-) It's one of the 100+ hidden gems I've chronicled in the talk I've given, Hidden Gems in CF8, which I intend to turn into a modestly priced half-day online course in the new year. More on this CFLOCATION STATUSCODE feature (other than the docs, of course) is at: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/648.cfm http://www.coldfusionguy.com/ColdFusion/blog/index.cfm/2007/12/6/301-Redirec ts-With-CFLocation-StatusCode-Attribute http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/6/7/Automatically-pushing-to-a- new-URL-and-how-ColdFusion-8-makes-this-a-bit-simpler More on the concept in general is also available at: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-306460.html Seriously, though, Merry Christmas to all. /charlie -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Sabir Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 7:27 PM To: 'cfaussie@googlegroups.com' Subject: [cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL [SOLVED] Hi all, Andrew here came up with the solution: You need to write the header tag like this : cfheader statuscode=301 statustext=Moved Permanently#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#Location:#newurl# All in one line.

[cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL
Hi Ryan
What browser are you seeing this in?
I've just tested this in IE7, FF2, Opera9, and all work as one would
expected, with redirected (dest.cfm in this case) URL in the address
bar. Test code:
{code}
source.cfm
cfheader statuscode=301 statustext=Moved Permanently
cfheader name=location value=http://localhost:8302/shared/cf/cfml/
header/dest.cfm
dest.cfm
cfdump var=#CGI#
{code}
NB: to whomever said either a 301 or a 302 is a server-side redirect:
they're both client-side. This should be obvious by the fact that for
the redirect to be implemented, they send an HTTP status code. Where
do you think they're *sending* the status code? To the browser (you
can see this if you use a packet sniffer to watch the HTTP requests
from the broeser: there'llbe two: a 301 and a 200). The redirect code
tells the browser actually you'll be wanting this URL (and for this
reason). For this sort of thing you definitely *want* a client-side
message (ie: the 301), because it tells search engines to stop trying
that URL, and use the new one instead. With humans, it probably
doesn't matter so much.

[cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL
Thanks for that, I actually did try putting a CFABORT after the CFHEADERs, it wouldn't work at all without it. Funny thing is, CFLOCATION actually does change the URL in the browser. I've tried moving the CFHEADER to the very top of the Application.cfm file, still no dice. Anyway, its not a major issue, I might just have to leave it as a CFLOCATION. I might be able to hack something together using ISAPI rewrite if I'm bothered.

[cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL [SOLVED]
Hi all, Andrew here came up with the solution: You need to write the header tag like this : cfheader statuscode=301 statustext=Moved Permanently#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#Location:#newurl# All in one line. Now the redirect works.. and the URL changes. Yippee!

A 301 redirect tells a search engine that the resource has been moved permanently, so no longer look for it at the original URL. At least that's how I understand how it works.
