Dynamic redirecting

[robjtede]

The redirect service does not pattern match.

The example:

Redirect::new("/oh/hi/mark", "../../bye/mark");

literally sends the header Location: ../../bye/mark back to the client. It is up to them to resolve this and make the follow-up request.

I can see the use case for a more dynamic redirect system that does match patterns. If this is what you are looking for, I'd suggest re-wording the issue and we can turn this into a feature request.

Regarding preserving body, it is irrelevant because this is not intended to be a proxy. It only serves redirect responses.
