I created /redirect method with GET and I would like to pass URL with parameters to it like such:
/redirect/https://example.com?param=1
and then, strip parameters and respond with a redirect to:
https://example.com
That's a quite unusual situation as I see that most API requests relay on URL parameters and I intend to do the opposite. I'm conflicted if I should use Mock or Lambda.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
I think you probably want to pass the URL as a querystring parameter rather than a path parameter. I think that it would look something like this:
GET /redirect?uri=https://example.com?param=1
exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
const Location = decodeURIComponent(event.queryStringParameters.uri);
return {
statusCode: 302,
headers: { Location },
}
};
This should return a 302 Found response with the redirect location, which should result in a browser redirect.
const Uri = decodeURIComponent(event.queryStringParameters.uri); const Location = Uri.split('?')[0]; And it works like it should :)
