Django Redirection App

  • The core function of this app is to allow redirection from one url to another.
  • For instance : if www.abc.com/aniket is a url and is changed to www.abc.com/aniketm then in that case www.abc.com/aniket should redirect user to the new url i.e 301 status code.
  • This ensure that the old url if indexed by SEARCH ENGINE doesn't show 404.
  • Makes redirection easy

How to Use
