New 'redir from' directive

[recollir (Federico Hernandez)]

I currently use this a lot

https://www.example.com {
  redir https://example.com
  tls user@example.com
}
https://example.com {
  root /opt/www/example.com
  tls user@example.com
}

To simplify the config I would like to introduce a variation of the redir directive and be able to use `redir from. So the above config would then be

https://.example.com {
  redir from https://www.example.com
  root /opt/www/example.com
  tls user@example.com
}

Caddy would still set up a listener for www.example.com and retrieve a cert. But now implicitly from the config of example.com.

Feasible? Already possible? Worth to submit as an issue to github?

Thanks for Caddy. Great software. Great community.

Caddy definitely needs the domain you want to fetch a certificate for to be at the start of the Caddyfile. However you can try using if statements from the redir directive to create something like this untested example:

example.com, www.example.com {
    tls user@example.com
    root /opt/www/example.com
    redir {
        if {host} starts_with www.example.com
        / https://example.com{uri}
    }
}

To go the other way, you’d instead use

    redir {
        if {host} starts_with example.com
        / https://www.example.com{uri}
    }

Thank you, Matthew.

Good idea. Will give it a try.
