Question:

I have a question reg. wix-router module as I move my website to WIX. I previously had a maven2 repository under www dot domain dot org/maven2. Now I had to move this to a new server under maven.domain.org.

My issue now is that I cannot use normal WIX functions to redirect all request from “www dot domain dot org/maven2” to “maven dot domain dot org”.
I tried to setup a wix-router like this:

import {redirect} from 'wix-router';

export function maven2_Router(request) {

  return redirect("https://maven.domain.org" + request.path, "301");
}

But it doesn’t redirect but just output some html code instead of a 301 redirect.

What are you trying to achieve:

I want to create 301 redirects for all files under www dot domain dot org/maven2 to maven dot domain dot org

Can you share the following?

  • How you’re making the request
  • What the HTML output you’re getting is

as it is maven I’m trying something like this:

wget https://www.dcm4che.org/maven2/dcm4che/dcm4che-net/2.0.26/dcm4che-net-2.0.26.jar

and I get the following response (just a snippet here):

My router looks like this:

export function maven2_Router(request) {

return redirect(‘https://maven.dcm4che.org’);
}

Seems to be working fine for me with curl.

because I reworked now everything without using routers.
