Redirect

FastGateway supports HTTP redirects to route clients to different URLs without backend processing.

Basic Redirect

filters:
  - type: "RequestRedirect"
    requestRedirect:
      path:
        type: "ReplaceFullPath"
        replaceFullPath: "/new-location"
      statusCode: 301

Scheme Redirect (HTTP to HTTPS)

Force HTTPS:

filters:
  - type: "RequestRedirect"
    requestRedirect:
      scheme: "https"
      statusCode: 301

Host Redirect

Redirect to a different host:

filters:
  - type: "RequestRedirect"
    requestRedirect:
      hostname: "new-domain.com"
      statusCode: 302
