rack-www

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

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"
}

Options

  • :www => default is true, redirects all traffic to www;

  • :subdomain => redirects to any given subdomain;

  • :message => display a message while redirecting;
