Specify HTTP verb/method for destination monitor

Improvement

Happy to announce that we now have support to select the HTTP verb/method in the destination monitor. 

We use HEAD requests for our destination monitoring tool. As some providers might be blocking HEAD requests, we added the ability to specify the HTTP verb. We've added POST/PATCH/PUT support as well.

When a destination returns a 405 status code ('Method not allowed'), we automatically switch to GET requests.

Redirect settings in overview

Improvement

To provide a better overview of your redirects, we now show the path fowarding & query string forwarding setting of the redirect in the overview, so that you can quickly see where it is enabled or disabled. 

  • We've added 'path' in the destination when path forwarding is enabled
  • We've added 'query' in the destination when query string forwarding is enabled.

Renamed two redirect settings

Improvement

To better indicate our redirect settings to the general public, we have changed the names of the following two settings:

  • Renamed "URI forwarding" to "Path forwarding"
  • Renamed "Keep query string" to "Query string forwarding"

Terraform Provider

New feature

By popular demand, we've worked on providing a Terraform Provider to allow managing your redirects easily in your IaaC. We're happy to announce public availability of this provider with an official listing on the Terraform Registry.

Do you have any improvements to make this provider even better? Pull requests are more then welcome.

redirect.pizza now provides an official easy-to-use Zapier Actions to easily create or update a redirect in redirect.pizza based on a trigger from another app.

Want to create a redirect when you add it to a Google Sheet? Want to create a redirect when you launch a new website? Set up a Zap with Zapier and you're on your way.
