Response redirect in Connect

Question

In Express, Im able to redirect to other url using response.redirect(""). Similarly how can I redirect in Connect module? I've tried the below code but its not working.

response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
response.end('<p>302. Redirecting to <a href="' + url+ '">' + url+ '</a></p>');

setting the `Location` header is one option. haven't explored the connect api thought, i should be similar to express — Gntem, Mar 03 '14 at 09:12

You can also redirect in Connect using writeHead as follows:

res.writeHead(301, {Location: url});
res.end();

The 301 http status code means "moved permanently".

I tried doing this but Im getting request headers as CAUTION:Provisional headers are shown – user3180402 Mar 03 '14 at 12:34
Is there any way to pass data along with the redirect url? – user3180402 Mar 03 '14 at 12:34
You can pass query string parameters in the url if that might work in your case. I have not needed to pass post data in a redirect before. – Svbaker Mar 04 '14 at 12:17

res.redirect is defined in express, not in connect (see the relevant source code). You then can't use this function, but you can copy its behavior by setting the Location header:

res.set('Location', url);

You can also read this answer: even if is related to php, it contains useful information regarding the use of the header.

For anyone that stumbles across this, `res.set` is now `res.setHeader` – JamesTheMage Jun 11 '17 at 06:17
