301 redirect, anything like that?

Any search engine-friendly way to move an existing website to force.com, I mean to handle the change of urls?

 

from 

www.domain.com/abcdefg.asp

to

www.domain.com/abcdefg 

  

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

This is how i do redirects from VisualForce pages:

 

 

Page:

 

<apex:page showHeader="false" sidebar="false" controller="RedirectController" action="{!doRedirect}"></apex:page>
 
 
 
Controller:
 
public class RedirectController {    public PageReference doRedirect(){        return new PageReference('http://www.google.com');    }}
 
 
 Regards,
 Arun

You can't currently send 301 or 302 redirects with Force.com Sites.

Yes I know.
So, suppose there's no tool like that.
Yet, any best practice or suggestion or way to work around that?
 
Such a loss would prevent us from migrating existing websites to force.com

A hack could be to have a 'page not found' VF page in your site that takes the request url, trims off the trailing .*** and then redirects to that page.
 
You'll have to use JavaScript to do this I think.
 
something like:
 
<script type="text/javascript">var str= new String(document.location.href);var i = str.lastIndexOf('\.');if(i > -1)document.location.href = document.location.href.substring(0, i);</script>
 
 
Hope this helps.

Alternative to the javascript, you can have a custom controller on the page not found page to do the same via apex.
