How can I redirect to a different Host?

[OZoneGuy]

I am planning to use Azure AD for authentication and I need to redirect the user to the login page for microsoft. I can't find any documentation on how to redirect to a different URL with a different host. Is it currently possible in actix 4?

There are redirect responders in actix-web-lab: https://docs.rs/actix-web-lab/0.16/actix_web_lab/web/struct.Redirect.html#method.to

async fn handler() -> impl Responder {
  Redirect::to("https://duck.com")
}

The Redirect struct will be promoted to Actix Web in an upcoming 4.x release.

You can also construct redirect responses yourself using 30x status codes and a Location header.

This has been added to Actix Web: https://docs.rs/actix-web/4.3/actix_web/web/struct.Redirect.html#method.to

Isn't there anything in the actix_web package? Do I need the lab?

You can now use actix_web::redirect::Redirect as of 4.3.

I got "module redirect is private module" When using use actix_web::redirect::Redirect;
