Allow customizing status of redirect
Right now, redirect
always issues a 302. This means that the redirect will use the same method. This becomes a problem in a common case of needing to redirect on a DELETE
action.
For example, if I have:
delete "/contacts/:contactId/" $ do
cid <- S.pathParam "contactId"
lift $ deleteContact cid
redirect "/contacts"
it will redirect to DELETE /contacts
which is not what I would want. I can easily fix this browser behavior by changing the status to 303, which will cause the next call to be a GET
. However, there is no way to to change this status in Scotty.
We could handle this in one of two ways:
- Have
redirect
respect the the status set by a previousstatus
call. - Create a
redirectStatus
that also takes a status and URL parameter.
