Display a new web page on the website that initiated a handleSpecialURL request

Targets Web

Hi all,

In a response from a handleSpecialURL, I need to display a web page on the website that initiated the request. There is a more elegant solution than returning a meta “refresh” tag with the new web page? (the new web page is already hosted on the website, I can’t return all the new page web HTML code)

Thank you

Olivier

can you descibe a bit more, what you’re doing?

What is the purpose, what does the HandleSpecialUrl compute?

When handleSpecialURL receives a request, it can return HTML code:
https://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/WebRequest.Print

Instead of returning HTML code, I would like to send a URL back to the browser, so that it displays this page/URL.

Currently, I use a meta tag in webRequest.Print:

request.Print("<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2; URL="https://mysite/mypage.html"'>"+EndOfLine)

but I would like a better solution.

I’m going to try showUrl.

I dont know if showURL works, but using a simple redirect over JS could be a good solution.

Otherwise it think that there’s no other solution.

Am I right, your webapp is a redirect portal, so if someone goes to your webapp under a special_url then the webapp redirects the user to another webpage?!

Set the Location header to the url and set the response code to 301.
