301 track

[merlinox]

Hi forum,

is there a way to check a 301 header code?

I need to publish a list of URL, but I'd like to check (for every url) if it's a "fix" url (code 200) or a redirect (301 or 302).

If it's a redirect I need to publish the destination url.

Thanks.

Solution found: we can use cfhttp with redirect param to false.

In the result struct we can check:

x.responseheader.status_code

If it is 301 or 302...

Thanks!

Do you mean that you want to check this using client-side tools? You could use something like wget with logging enabled, then parse the responses from the log file. But you might not want to treat 302 responses the same way you treat 301 responses. A 302 response is a temporary redirect, which means that you might not go to the same URL in the future as a result of the redirect. They're commonly used when you submit a form - you go to the action page, which redirects you to a third page.

No no I needed a server checker. But like I wrote up I resolved.

Thanks.
