Redirects without trailing slash how to

Questions & Answers
#1

I am trying to figure out how to handle single page redirects to a complex target.

I am trying to do something like this:

https://{default}/foo-detail/:
  type: upstream
  upstream: foo-detail:http

https://{default}/foo:
  type: redirect
  to: https://{default}/foo-detail/A/B/C/some-page.html

The path /foo is not a whole path with lots of things underneath it, just a simple target that sends the user to a specific page. On the other hand, /foo-detail is a really path with lots of things underneath it.

This mostly works, except that if I do curl https://example.com/foo/ (note the trailing /), then it redirects to some-page.html/, which does not exist.

How can I get /foo to be “just foo, do not pass the rest along”?

I think you might be running into this piece concerning trailing slashes.

If I’m understanding your goals correctly, you’ll probably need to add partial redirects on the route entry for https://{default}/:
You can then use regular expressions to be more accurate on what you do/don’t want redirected.

https://{default}/foo-detail/:
  type: upstream
  upstream: foo-detail:http

https://{default}/:
    # ...
    redirects:
        expires: 1d
        paths:
            '^/foo(?!-detail)':
                to: 'https://{default}/foo-detail/A/B/C/some-page.html'
                regexp: true

This is at least one possible way to do it. I would need to see the rest of your routes.yaml to be able to suggest the optimal method.
