redirect in xml page

how to do this

[HelenDev]

Hi there,

I don't know much about xml, but I will be moving some pages to new urls which are currently xml files. Is it possible to put a redirect in an .xml page, and if so, would anyone be able to post the code I need to do this?

Cheers.

Redirects are best handled at the web server level. There is no generic "redirect" function in XML (any more than you can insert a redirect into a JPG or Excel fil), but you could presumably define an element for a canonical uri in your schema and then process on it.

Cheers for the reply Choster.

I will try to get the redirects done on the server.

LOL I think I would need to go read an xml book to do that!

How are your pages being displayed to the end user? Are you using xsl, or parsing with a server side language?

Just write the .xml file in to the Response.Redirect("test.xml");

Its very easy isn't it?

Debashis,
What u have said is correct.
Response.Redirect("test.xml");

But like macrost has mentioned, u got to use xsl or server side scripting language to display the contents of the xml file in the web page.

hope this helps u in some concern.
Cheers.

Just to let everyone know, I went with server redirects in the end, much easier :)
