How can I redirect a page request in Go running on GAE, so that the user’s address would display correctly without resorting to displaying a redirection page? For example, if user would type:

www.hello.com/1

I’d want my Go application to redirect the user to:

www.hello.com/one

Without resorting to:

fmt.Fprintf(w, "<HEAD><meta HTTP-EQUIV=\"REFRESH\" content=\"0; url=/one\"></HEAD>")

    For a one-off:

    func oneHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  http.Redirect(w, r, "/one", http.StatusMovedPermanently)
}

    If this happens a few times, you can create a redirect handler instead:

    func redirectHandler(path string) func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) { 
  return func (w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    http.Redirect(w, r, path, http.StatusMovedPermanently)
  }
}

    and use it like this:

    func init() {
  http.HandleFunc("/one", oneHandler)
  http.HandleFunc("/1", redirectHandler("/one"))
  http.HandleFunc("/two", twoHandler)
  http.HandleFunc("/2", redirectHandler("/two"))
  //etc.
}
