Exception: Sidewalk::SeeOtherRedirect

Inherits:
Redirect show all
Defined in:
lib/sidewalk/redirect.rb

Overview

Use if the resource hasn't moved, but you want to redirect anyway.

The new request will be a GET request.

Standard usage is to redirect after a POST, to make the browser's Refresh and back/forward buttons work as expected.

Defaults to a '303 See Other', but if you need to support pre-HTTP/1.1 browsers, you might want to change this.

Examples:

Supporting Legacy Browsers
