Akka HTTP Redirect Error

Question

I am using Akka-HTTP. I have the following URI's

/a

/b

I will receive the HIT on /a URI and I have a condition when that condition will be fulfilled then I want to redirect to /b URI

If that condition is not fulfilled then I am returning BAD REQUEST

Now the issue is in Akka-HTTP redirect URI is of type Standard Route and I want to return HTTP Response due to this I am unable to run the code.

Can anyone tell me how to redirect with HTTP Response type in Akka-HTTP?

Answer 1

To redirect from one URI to another in Akka-HTTP, We can use the same HTTP response type.

HttpResponse(status = StatusCodes.PermanentRedirect, headers = headers.Location(Uri("URI/End Point of Akka-http to Redirect")) :: Nil, entity = response)

This method will redirect the incoming request to the URI provided in the Location part of a header.

Thanks
