I have 4 URLs that I would like to redirect to my main page. They are all just common misspellings and I want to have my bases covered so that users can access the site even if they have a letter off. How would I go about doing this with Google App Engine?

I would imagine that I need a python handler to do the redirects but what would this look like? Any resources or examples would be great.

You can simply use the self.redirect() and your request will be handled correctly. 

class PageHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
  def get(self):
    self.redirect('/home/', permanent=True)

You can also set a custom status using the self.response.set_status(301). I would suggest you reading more in the docs: Redirects, Headers and Status Codes.

  • so is it fine to do: self.redirect('http://www.anotherurl.com') and does that count as a 301 redirect? – clifgray Oct 01 '12 at 21:07
