How to Redirect in ASPNET Web API

Question

Is there a Web API controller method equivalent to the MVC controller method RedirectToAction? I would like to call one method from another, but retain the filter actions for the secondary method.

You could set the Location header:

public HttpResponseMessage Get()
{
    var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Found);
    response.Headers.Location = new Uri("http://www.google.com");
    return response;
}
