[Radiant] Redirecting in Radiant

[Sean Cribbs]

A short behavior could do the trick, since you have direct access to the
response object.  This might work:

class RedirectBehavior < Behavior::Base

  register "Redirect Permanently"

  description %{ Redirects to another page. }

  def process(request, response)
    response.headers["Status"] = "301 Moved Permanently"
    response.redirect(page.page_config["url"])
    request, response = nil, nil
  end

end

Cheers!
