I have this:
public RedirectResult LinkRedirect(string url)
{
return Redirect(url);
}
And all it does, is redirecting me to http://mysite.com/www.externalsite.com. What am I missing here?

How is your link helping me? I have exactly the same code that was posted there, and it does not work for me! – ojek Mar 21 '13 at 13:24

Are you passing a url with http://prefixed to it ? – Shyju Mar 21 '13 at 13:24

is url formatted like http://myexternalsite.com ? – adt Mar 21 '13 at 13:25

No. Passed url is clear, like "www.sth.com" or "http://sth.com" etc. – ojek Mar 21 '13 at 13:25

I mean, i can even do `return Redirect("www.google.com");` and all it does is redirects me to `http://mysite.com/www.google.com`. – ojek Mar 21 '13 at 13:26

You need to pass a url with http://prefixed to it. Then it will work
Ex: http://www.google.com
So if you want to allow your action method to accept all kind of links( with and without http prefix), you need to write little bit of code to check whether the passed the url parameter value has http prefix and if not, append it.
