How do I redirect Rails routes to other sites?

Question

I am trying to write a test case of Rails' routing to redirect to another site.

For example:

get "foo/:id",redirect("http://othersite.com/foo/%{id}",:status => 301)

The following attempt produced errors:

assert_routing "foo/123","http://othersite.com/foo/123"

Based on this answer, I can suggest the same thing.

Did you try:

match "/blog" => redirect("http://example.com/blog"), :as => :blog

This works for you?
