Fastify redirect to external URL

Question

Using fastify library I want to be redirected to a web-page. Looking at all the examples in docs, it seems like it covers only route-to-route redirection.

Link to redirect docs

fastify.post('/v1/launch', async (req, res) => {
  response.redirect('/empty-cart');
});

The code above results in 404 error trying to find that route.

But how it can be redirected to external page? Thanks!

Update: Trying to redirect to https://my-domain.com/empty-cart

with ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error

If you enter https://my-domain.com/empty-cart in your browser do you get anything or a 404? — Frazer, Aug 09 '21 at 13:18
I mean if you go to https : //my-domain.com/empty-cart directly, not via a redirection. — Frazer, Aug 09 '21 at 13:29
