I've already used this instructions to shorten a bit URLs. but I we do feel confortable with the /bin part of the URL so far... until I make a mistake and distribute a wrong address in printed material. Thus: I need to find a solution for a single, at least by now, URL. So, please, allow me to give you some more details: 1) Some time ago, playing with the instructions so shorten URL, we had a bad time with our plain old 2.4.30451 server. At that moment, we felt confortable with URLs like http://www.idisantiago.es/bin/ICT/CSS2, thus we sticked to that configurations. 2) Some weeks ago I distribute by mistake a wrong URL: it doesn't include the /bin part of the URL: this is the mistaken address: http://www.idisantiago.es/BIS2013. 3) By browsing, googling and stuff, I finally understood how to redirect all requests throwing a 302 error, the referenced above among them, to the right address http://www.idisantiago.es/bin/BIS2013: nothing fancy, just a simple $response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("BIS2013.WebHome")) in Main.DocumentDoesNotExist. 4) This solution works fine, but it applies to only to the wrong /BIS2013 address, but to any other URL that doesn't include the struts action. Thus, for instance, all these addresses are redirected to the same place: http://www.idisantiago.es/dummy http://www.idisantiago.es/bread http://www.idisantiago.es/milk http://www.idisantiago.es/chocolate All of then are redirected to http://www.idisantiago.es/bin/BIS2013 5) While reading the conversation between client and server for this request, I see that the first piece of the dialogue includes something like this... Request URL:http://www.idisantiago.es/chocolate Request Method:GET Status Code:302 Moved Temporarily 6) And from this I figure out that it could be possible that, once the server answers the client and says: hei! .../chocolate doesn't exist! I'll invite you to make a new call and retrive Main.DocumentDoesNotExist and it includes $response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("BIS2013.WebHome")), there must be any way of capturing and using the requested URL in an Velocity #if() structure. Something like this... #if(wrong requested URL is /chocolate) $response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("BIS2013.WebHome")) #else $response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("ICT.WebHome")) #end Beyond finding a the solution for this single use case, I'm imaging a database of requested URLs being matched to a set of "valid" ones "the TinyURL way"! :-) Please, forgive me if this is complete no sense! Any idea, or directly call me stupid if this has no sense at all, we'll be extremely welcome! Thanks once again, Ricardo > Valdis >> Thanks, Vladis!
