redirect

This utility sets up different redirects from the CS 61A website. To add new redirects, edit the lookup dictionary in main.py. At the end of a semester, edit deploy.yaml to include <semester>.cs61a.org. This target will automatically redirect to inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/<semester>.

This app has no local setup instructions, because it is not meant to be run locally.

Code Documentation

All of the code for redirection is contained in main.py. It tries to retrieve from a set LOOKUP dictionary and if it doesn’t exist tries to directly get a url from the inst.eecs website. catch_all() recieves a path and calls lookup() to get the link. lookup() creates the redirect link.

redirect.main.catch_all(path)
