I have a Django based website. I would like to redirect URLs with the pattern servertest
in them to the same URL except servertest
should be replaced by server-test
.
So for example the following URLs would be mapped be redirected as shown below:
http://acme.com/servertest/ => http://acme.com/server-test/
http://acme.com/servertest/www.example.com => http://acme.com/server-test/www.example.com
http://acme.com/servertest/www.example.com:8833 => http://acme.com/server-test/www.example.com:8833
I can get the first example working using the following line in urls.py:
('^servertest/$', 'redirect_to', {'url': '/server-test/'}),
Not sure how to do it for the others so only the servetest part of the URL is replaced.
Use the following (updated for Django 2.2):
re_path(r'^servertest/(?P<path>.*)$', 'redirect_to', {'url': '/server-test/%(path)s'}),
It takes zero or more characters after servertest/
and places them after /server-test/
.
Alternatively, you can use new path
function that covers simple cases url patterns without using regex (and it is preferred in new versions of Django):
path('servertest/<path:path>', 'redirect_to', {'url': '/server-test/%(path)s'}),
