Re-issue of #10412 which was merged in a broken state and subsequently reverted.
This is a proposal for a method
HTTP::Server::Response#redirect
which offers a simple way to issue redirects from HTTP server handlers.respond_with_status
is a similar convenience method.Redirects are pretty common and a helper for this would be very useful. In fact, there's already an implementation in
StaticFileHandler
. Most web frameworks probably provide a helper for this, too (example: kemal). But it would be nice to have this at hand for plain server handlers. And simple implementations like kemal's could be based on or replaced by the stdlib implementation.Resolves #12490
