I wanted to check something before I break everything. It may be obvious to you, but I'm naturally cautious and wanted to see whether I'm OK to do what I'm thinking.
I currently have docs on RTD (and have had them there for 3 years). We have moved pages around as versions changed, so have a set of about a hundred exact redirects, something like this:
/en/stable/introduction/intro.html -> /en/stable/introduction/setup-guide.html
Now I have a custom domain and want to point everything with a canonical link over there.
What will happen to those redirects? Are they applied first so someone with a bookmark to intro.html
is pointed to setup-guide.html
over on project.readthedocs.io and then the redirect to myprojectname.com/docs/ applied?
That is, will this happen?
/en/stable/introduction/intro.html --> myprojectname.com/docs/en/stable/introduction/setup-guide.html
Thanks in advance?
I haven't tried this yet. I'm too scared I'll break the whole edifice and end world order.
