The advanced redirection plugin enables your Confluence to manage HTTP redirections.
It is possible to create several redirection rules by defining a matching pattern and an destination URL.
URL Pattern: .+/xxx.?
Redirect to: http://confluence.atlassian.com
Description: Every URL containing "/xxx" somewhere in the url and (optional!) having additional characters after the "xxx" will redirect to Atlassian's Confluence
URL Pattern: .*/dosearchsite.action\?queryString=somtext
Redirect to: http://yourconfluence/dosearchsite.action?queryString=sometext
Description: Replaces a search for "somtext" with a search for "sometext"
URL Pattern: .*/viewpagesrc.action.*
Redirect to: /
Description: Disables the wiki source code view and redirects to the dashboard
The Plugin is implemented as a Servlet Filter - therefore it is called for every HTTP request made (also loading CSS files, images etc..).
Per default the servlet filter is applied to every URL - if you want restrict the URL pattern the plugin is loaded you should edit the atlassian-plugin.xml - more information about that is in the FAQ section.
Please, please, please be careful not to define an URL pattern by accident that matches the URL of the Confluence administration area. If you do so the removal is a little bit more complicated because you have to erase the data from the database. More on that in the FAQ section.
