Ability to specify response code on controller plugin redirect

[weierophinney]

• [X ] I was not able to find an open or closed issue matching what I'm seeing.
• [X ] This is not a question. (Questions should be asked on slack (Signup for Slack here) or our forums.)

I have changed my routing setup on a production app, and I would like to provide search engines with the information that a new URL format is being used. For this I would like to use code 301 (Permanently Moved) instead of 302 (Found).

Code to reproduce the issue

In a controller action:

return $this->redirect()->toUrl('https://github.com'); //, ['statusCode' => 301]);

Expected results

I should be able to specify a statusCode of choosing

Actual results

The browser receives a 302 response code always.

Thanks for all your support!

There is an open todo in the class of the redirect plugin:

https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mvc/blob/9f092ff24945f208047d99dff81f67de8862b5f4/src/Controller/Plugin/Redirect.php#L16

In the meantime you can use this workaround in any controller action:

public function indexAction()
{
    $response = $this->getResponse();
    $response->getHeaders()->addHeaderLine(
        'Location',
        'https://github.com'
    );
    $response->setStatusCode(301);
    
    return $response;
}

I created PR #61 for it

Would it be a solution to pass the desired status code as an optional parameter to the toUrl() method and as an $option = ['statusCode' => 301] to the toRoute() method?

As mentioned on slack ( https://laminas.slack.com/archives/C4R13GTRD/p1670227522366209 )

return $this
    ->redirect()
    ->toUrl('https://github.com')
    ->setStatusCode(301);
