Hi there, I am trying to create redirects using web2py from effectively the default index page (or just the route of the domain/package). Some keywords (such as 'about', stored in a list) wouldn't redirect. However, all not in that list would redirect.
The desired behaviour is: https://startbean.com/about -> No redirect https://startbean.com/myc -> https://startbean.com/company/myc The default page that is shown at startbean.com is from the package 'default' and is called 'index'. If the redirect was as in the below, it would be easy: https://startbean.com/default/about -> No redirect https://startbean.com/default/index/myc -> https://startbean.com/default/company/myc because the myc is a URL argument. But when it is from the root, Web2Py tries to open a package called 'myc' and then finds no page (index or controller function) so errors. What is the best way of handling this? I was trying with routes.py, but couldn't figure out a way to do this (am pretty sure it is not supported). I thought about a redirect for the token after / to a page called /default/redirect/<token> which would then decide about the redirect, but there's no way to stop the infinite loop. Another possible solution was a tweak to the nginx config so redirect when there is one token after the /, but again I think this causes a problem with the about. Maybe there is a catch-all function for controllers that I haven't found? I've gone through the web2py book and found nothing - any ideas very welcome!
