Redirect in ASP MVC 4 without a 302 status code

Question

How to redirect page in ASP MVC 4?

I've tried Redirect, RedirectPermanent, RedirectToAction, and so on. But it is like HTTP Redirect (using http-equiv refresh), not Header Redirect. It will display Header Status 302 first, then redirect. I want header redirect like in php header('location:/');

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult SignOut()
{
    UtilsHelper.NoCache();
    session.Destroy();
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

Call the controller method directly. See [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1296680/net-mvc-call-method-on-different-controller) for examples. — Robert Harvey, Jun 12 '13 at 04:06
But, I want to redirect, not show result from different controller's method. — Bias Tegaralaga, Jun 12 '13 at 05:28
No you don't. If you really wanted to redirect, you'd live with the 302. It's semantically correct. — Robert Harvey, Jun 12 '13 at 05:57

If you are really worried about the redirect code you could control it at a lower level.

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult SignOut()
{
    UtilsHelper.NoCache();
    session.Destroy();
    HttpContext.Response.Clear();
        HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 302; //change it to 301?
        HttpContext.Response.RedirectLocation = "/";
        HttpContext.Response.End();
}

Im not sure what is the issue with 302 here?

what about the return value? – Bias Tegaralaga Jun 12 '13 at 08:06
@BiasTegaralaga Something should be return but it will redirect first so return value doesn't matter. – Anirudha Gupta Feb 05 '18 at 06:48

You can use Server.Transfer instead of Response.Redirect
