New

agent v2.0 available, with new triggers and actions

Today is a great day for redirection.io! We have released the v2.0.0 of the redirectionio-agent, the software component that runs redirection rules on the websites of our customers. This new version is the result of several months of hard work and includes many improvements. in addition to better overall agent performance, this release introduces new triggers and actions that will allow a much more powerful use of redirection.io.

Starting today, redirection.io users can create rules that are triggered by:

  • the URL (or URL pattern)
  • the HTTP method of the request
  • the status code of the backend response
  • the value of a request header

Used to create redirection rules? You can still do it with the new agent, of course, and you can also:

  • override HTML meta tags (you know, the <title> tag at the top of every web page?)
  • set the value of a response header
  • inject arbitrary HTML code in your web pages

In the coming months, we will be adding more triggers and actions. However, for now, it means that configuring the following behaviors only takes a few clicks with redirection.io:

  • I want to 302 redirect all the requests under /products/* for which the backend responded with a 404 - this can be useful to avoid 404 errors in product catalog pages, for example ;
  • I want to 302 redirect the user to /fr if the X-GeoIP request header is defined and its value starts with fr
  • I want to change the meta title and meta description on the page /products/example-product.html
  • I want to add a meta og:image on every page of my website
  • I want to add a x-frame-options response header to all the responses of my website, and set its value to SAMEORIGIN
