The Redirect directive maps an old URL into a new one. The new URL is returned

to the client which attempts to fetch it again with the new address.

Note: Redirect directives take precedence over Alias and ScriptAlias

directives, irrespective of their ordering in the configuration file.<p>

If no <em>status</em> argument is given, the redirect will be

"temporary" (HTTP status 302). This indicates to the client that the

resources is has moved temporarily. The <em>status</em>

argument can be used to return other HTTP status codes:

<dl>

<dt>permanent<dd>Returns a permanent redirect status (301) indicating that

the resource has moved permanently.

<dt>temp<dd>Returns a temporary redirect status (302). This is the

default.

<dt>seeother<dd>Returns a "See Other" status (303) indicating that

the resource has been replaced.

<dt>gone<dd>Returns a "Gone" status (410) indicating that the resource

has been permanently removed. When this status is used the <em>url</em>

argument should be omitted.

</dl>

Other status codes can be returned by giving the numeric status code

as the value of <em>status</em>. If the status is between 300 and 399,

the <em>url</em> argument must be present, otherwise it must be

omitted. Note that the status must be known to the Apache code (see

the function <code>send_error_response</code> in http_protocol.c).
