Rack middleware to force subdomain redirects

rack-www

Rack middleware to force subdomain redirects, e.g: www or www2

Installation

  #default installation
  gem install rack-www

  #when using bundler
  gem 'rack-www'

Usage

Default usage (by default will redirect all requests to www subdomain):

  #redirects all traffic to www subdomain
  config.middleware.use Rack::WWW

Customizing the :www option to true or false:

  #redirects all traffic to www
  config.middleware.use Rack::WWW, www: true


  #redirects all traffic to the same domain without www
  config.middleware.use Rack::WWW, www: false

Redirecting to a given subdomain:

  #redirects all traffic to the 'secure' subdomain
  config.middleware.use Rack::WWW, :subdomain => "secure"

If you like it's also possible to show a message while redirecting the user:

  config.middleware.use Rack::WWW, :www => false, :message => "You are being redirected..."

You can optionally specify predicate to determine if redirect should take place:

  config.middleware.use Rack::WWW, :predicate => lambda { |env|
    !Rack::Request.new(env).params.has_key? "noredirect"
  }

It ignores any redirects when using IP addresses.

Options

• :www => default is true, redirects all traffic to www;
• :subdomain => redirects to any given subdomain;
• :message => display a message while redirecting;
