[Zope] More problems with redirecting from standard_error_message

Mon, 9 Jul 2001 11:45:47 -0500

The page is here message is just text, not a browser directive.

You can add a META refresh to your page if you want the user to see the
redirect:
Here's the format. The 3; is a 3-second delay. DO NOT make it zero or 1,
that's rude.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="3;URL=http://www.twstore.com">
</HEAD>
<H3>OOPS!  The Tech World Store has been redesigned</H3>
<H3>You are being redirected to: <a href="http://www.twstore.com">The Home
Page</A></H3>.
</HTML>

Otherwise use this format (which I dug out of the mailing list archive):
http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/ByKey/9A8889BEB902CCF2

<dtml-if "error_type=='NotFound'">
  <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect('http://www.twstore.com', status=301,
lock=1)">
<dtml-else>
   ...The normal standard_error_message is here...
</dtml-if>

That doesn't match the DTML docs at zope.org, but it works.
Use
         301 Moved Permanently
         302 Moved Temporarily
A 301 instructs search engines etc, to correct their databases.
