HTTP Redirect Examples

The following examples highlight how to use the HTTPRedirect class to get/create HTTPRedirect‘s on the dyn.tm System and how to edit these objects from within a Python script.

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)
