3. The problem I’m having:

I am trying to redirect everything from http://redirect1.tk to http://google.com so if I typed in

http://redirect1.tk/gdfgdf?hgdhf=hi I would go to http://google.com/gdfgdf?hgdhf=hi

however I can’t even get a simple redirect working, it just returns a blank 200.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

There is no errors.

5. What I already tried:

I’ve tried subroute handler (see above), I’ve tried static_response as the main handler (basically just get rid of subroute and replace it with the static_response handler), nothing seems to redirect. I am not sure why my JSON config is wrong?

6. Links to relevant resources:

I’ve tried everything I can think of in the documentation.

Just for kicks, try replacing your entire config with asldkfjls and then load it, and see what the logs/errors say.

I’m just not fully there today, it ended up being that my match host was the wrong domain.

Ah… this is why we basically require to not change/redact configs when asking for help. Glad you fixed it.
