Show HN: Easy url redirection for your apps - Redirect App
- rkudeshi 15y agoSeems good, but why should I use this over an .htaccess file? If anything, a redirect to your server and then back to mine would add latency.
- minhajuddin 15y agoIt wouldn't really add latency Here is a sequence diagram depicting the flow: - With RedirectApp: http://i.imgur.com/kej9j.png http://i.imgur.com/kej9j.png Client(Browser)->RedirectApp: Makes a get request RedirectApp->Client(Browser): Returns an http redirect response Client(Browser)->Your Website: Makes the final request - With .htaaccess: http://i.imgur.com/LyvZs.png http://i.imgur.com/LyvZs.png Client(Browser)->Your Website: Makes a get request Your Website->Client(Browser): Returns an http redirect response Client(Browser)->Your Website: Makes the final request The advantage of using RedirectApp is that you don't have to mess with your .htaccess file. This might not seem very helpful for one app, but when you have dozens of apps/websites, RedirectApp makes this very simple.
