Zend Framework 2: Hostname and redirection

Question

I need to create a route in a zend framework 2 project that helps me to create these url:

http://username.test.com and .net
http://www.test.com and .net

Code:

<?php

return array ( 
    'router' => array ( 
            'routes' => array ( 
                    'username' => array (
                            'type' => 'hostname',
                            'options' => array (
                                    'route' => ':username.test.:tld',
                                    'constraints' => array(
                                            'username' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
                                            'tld' => '[com|net]*',
                                    ),
                                    'defaults' => array (
                                            'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Index',
                                            'action' => 'show',
                                            'tld' => 'com'
                                    )
                            )
                    ),


                    'home' => array (
                            'type' => 'hostname',
                            'options' => array (
                                    'route' => 'www.test.:tld',
                                    'constraints' => array(
                                            'tld' => '[com|net]*',
                                    ),
                                    'defaults' => array (
                                            'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Index',
                                            'action' => 'index',
                                            'tld' => 'com'
                                    )
                            )
                    ),

            )
    ),

In some case when I call the http://username.test.com url I need to redirect the user to the http://www.test.com by the url helper.

update:

For instance the zfUser has a specific routes to serve the user:

/user
/user/register
/user/logout

When I execute this code when the application starts from the http://username.test.com

<a href="<?php echo $this->url('zfcuser') ?>" title="Profilo"><i class="fa fa-user"></i><?php echo $this->translate('Your Profile') ?></a>

It creates a links like these:

and I would like this:

How I can do it?

The "problem" here is that you want to set the ZfcUser routes as the children of your home route. However, ZfcUser sets just routes as root and not as child_routes of yours.

The solution is is using "prototypes" and the chain_routes key. It is pretty undocumented, but you can read some info in this PR.

Basically, transform your top-level routes ("home" and "username") to a prototype and set the chain_routes key for the ZfcUser route.
