Task51Start - Optional custom status codes and optional redirect targets

See TasksExplained? for more infos about tasks. This task is based on the template at TaskTemplateStart

Status : closed
Category : gui
Date opened : 2007-04-05
Description : Optional custom status codes and optional redirect targets
Referenced in stories/tasks : WebStatistics
Testsuite : test/functional/rules_generator_test.rb
Commited revision : 196

Remarks :

• There is need for optional status code when mandatory elements are missing.
• There is need for optional status code when parameter domain is not met.
• Redirect targets come into action, when custom status code is 3xx.

According to RFC 2616, the following status codes should come with a location (redirect) header in the response:

• 300
• 301
• 302
• 303
• 305
• 307

Note that 304 and 306 (reserved) should not reply with a redirect. Remo will thus ignore the location field with these status codes.

2007-05-04 - gui and rule editor done

I rewrote the whole tests for the rule editor. Simpified it by testing the subfunctions and not the overall generated ruleset anymore.
