Creating a new HTTP Redirect Service

The following example shows how to create a new HTTPRedirect on the dyn.tm System and how to edit some of the fields using the returned HTTPRedirect object.

>>> from dyn.tm.services.httpredirect import HTTPRedirect
>>> # Create a dyn.tmSession
>>> # Assuming you own the zone 'example.com'
>>> redir = HTTPRedirect('example.com', 'example.com', 302, keep_uri='Y',
...                      url='http://dyn.com')
>>> redir.zone
'example.com'
>>> redir.code
302

Getting an Existing HTTP Redirect DNS Service

The following example shows how to get an existing HTTPRedirect from the dyn.tm System and how to edit some of the same fields mentioned above.

>>> from dyn.tm.services.httpredirect import HTTPRedirect
>>> # Create a dyn.tmSession
>>> # Once again, assuming you own 'example.com'
>>> rdns = HTTPRedirect('example.com', 'example.com', my_rdns_id)
