You can configure the proxy server to return a redirected URL to the client instead of getting and returning the document. With redirection, the client is aware that the URL originally requested has been redirected to a different URL. The client usually requests the redirected URL immediately. Netscape Navigator automatically requests the redirected URL—the user does not have to explicitly request the document a second time.
URL redirection is useful when you want to deny access to an area because you can redirect the user to a URL that explains why access was denied.
Access the Server Manager and click the URLs tab.
Click the Redirect URLs ink. The Redirect URLs page displays.
Enter a source URL that is a URL prefix.
Enter a URL to redirect to. This URL can either be a URL prefix or a fixed URL.
If you choose to use a URL prefix as the URL to redirect to, select the radio button next to the URL prefix field and enter a URL prefix. If you choose to use a fixed URL, select the radio button next to the Fixed URL field and enter a fixed URL.
Click OK.
Click Restart Required. The Apply Changes page displays.
Click the Restart Proxy Server button to apply the changes.
