How to make a redirect via programming?

Server NGINX
#1

Hey, I’m making a custom module and need to send back the redirect
response to the client. It should behave like the “sendRedirect” in java
servlet programming. So which function is that API?

Thanks.

is this OK?

r->headers_out.status = NGX_HTTP_REDIRECT;
r->headers_out.content_length_n = 0;
… // the code set “Location” header

ngx_http_send_header®;

r->headers_out.location = ngx_palloc(r->pool,

sizeof(ngx_table_elt_t));
if (r->headers_out.location == NULL) {
return NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR;
}

r->headers_out.location->value.len = sizeof("http://example.com/") -

1;
r->headers_out.location->value.data = “http://example.com/”;

return NGX_HTTP_MOVED_PERMANENTLY;
