Mojolicious-Plugin-RedirectHost

Going to change your domain name but worry about seo ranks of your site? Or maybe trying to improve seo rank by keeping only one version of your domain (with www or without)

That's what you're looking for.

All requests with a Host header that is not equal to the host option will be redirected to the main host (and to the same port, as it was in original request) Don't forget about the port (don't expect something great from http://google.com:3000)

http://www.main.host:3000       => http://main.host:3000
http://another.io:3000/foo?bar  => http://main.host:3000/foo?bar
etc...

You can point as many domains to your App by DNS, as you want. It doesn't matter, all of them will become a mirror. An equivalent apache .htaccess file looks like

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^alexbyk.com
RewriteRule  ^(.*)		http://alexbyk.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It's possible to redirect all requests except /robots.txt using 'er' option. That's made for Yandex search engine. It's for SEO optimization only. If you don't know what that, just ignore that option and don't mind

Use your_app.production.conf file to avoid redirecting localhost

Look at the examples directory of this distribution for a full application example

Installation

You can install this plugin from CPAN

cpanm Mojolicious::Plugin::RedirectHost

cpan -i Mojolicious::Plugin::RedirectHost

or using any of your favourite cpan manager

Usage

To redirect all requests to the main.host with 301 code (permanent) by default

# Mojolicious
$app->plugin('RedirectHost', host => 'main.host');
 
# Mojolicious::Lite
plugin RedirectHost => { host => 'main.host' };

The best practise is to use an you_app.production.conf file to avoid redirection while developing in your local machine

# in your_app.production.conf
{
  redirect_host => {host => 'main.host'},
	#... other stuff
}

# in lib/YourApp.pm
$app->plugin('Config');
$app->plugin('RedirectHost');
