Hello everyone! I have a handler that handles routing to a few legal pages. Here is a snip:

component extends="coldbox.system.EventHandler" {

	// default Action
	function index( event, rc, prc ){
		event.setHTTPHeader( statusCode = 400 );
		relocate(uri = "/");
	}

	// terms of service Action
	function termsofservice( event, rc, prc ){
		prc.pageTitle = "Terms of Service";
		event.setView( "legal/termsofservice" );
	}
...
}

I added a default action to redirect the user to the home page if they try to access the root of the uri example:

localhost:8080/legal

and set the status code to

400 Bad Request

. Is this correct or should i be using a different status code?

I would think the relocate would probably change the status code to 301 when it redirected

@Robert Zehnder Am I using the correct status code (400) or should I change it to 301?

You should be able to do this

@Robert Zehnder How would you handle the situation where the handler shouldn't have a default action? Do you redirect them or show a page listing the handlers pages.

Sorry, it has been a busy day.

My fault, didn't mean to bother you. Didn't see that you were the lead of a company.

relocate()

in the handler. I would not bother explicitly setting the response code, just do the redirect

Where do you redirect to in this type of situation, to the home page?

That is up to you, but the home page is a likely choice

Thank You very much for helping me

My pleasure

You can try to redirect the user somewhere, but honetly if a user can created their own URL to your server that is bogus, unless you can make a guess of where they wanted to go, you may as well just allow the default ColdBox "event not found" handler to kick in which you can customize to say whatever you want.
