[opencms-dev] Modifying a 302 Response?

[John Burbridge]

Thanks for the suggestion, Achim. 

What I would like to do (more precisely) is capture the referrer of the request and pass that along to the destination in the query string.

Ie: starting at mydomain.org/mypage I click on a link to foo.org/bar, which is an external link. 

Request: foo.org/bar
Response: 302 --> foo.org/baz?ref=mydomain.org/mypage

What I'm trying to do is find the location where the 302 response is generated in OpenCms so I can modify it and append the original referrer to the query string of the destination.

My understanding is that I would have to modify OpenCms itself, right? org.opencms.util.CmsRequestUtil would be useful if I were writing my own code, but in this case I'm trying to modify a standard OpenCms feature...

Does that sound about right? Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
JB

Hi John,

with external links you should be able to "Edit Link" in the context 
menu and just enter:

http://www.alkacon.com/en/index.html?foo=bar

to have a redirect to that target.

If you want to do a redirect in your own code you should look at the 
redirect methods in org.opencms.util.CmsRequestUtil.




Kind Regards,
Achim.
