Django 301 Domain Redirect for Heroku

Question

It seems Google has managed to spider some of my heroku apps pages on the app sub domain i.e. myapp.herokuapp.com. I need to do a 301 redirect so all these pages point to the actual apps domain www.myapp.com

Any idea how I do this in Django? I see the redirect app only works for 404s so this won't be any good, and all the examples for RedirectView are for the domain path.

You could use the Django Hostname redirects app and its middleware.

This worked for me, but I needed to patch https://github.com/MidwestCommunications/django-hostname-redirects/blob/master/hostname_redirects/middleware.py to use request.META['HTTP_HOST'] instead of request.META['SERVER_NAME'] – the server name is always set to "0.0.0.0" on Heroku. – arexx Mar 13 '15 at 21:10
