I have a very simple sinatra app (teaser page) running on Heroku on a custom domain. All is working well.

I also have a blog. It’s running on a different heroku app under the standard heroku domain.

My question:
How can I make my sinatra app redirect ‘www.mydomain.com/blog’ to the other heroku app (e.g. the blog). Preferably the ‘www.mydomain.com/blog’ url is kept in the address bar of the user’s browser..

I think i need some kind of rack redirect in my app, but i have no clue how to get it done..

Help is very much appreciated.

ps
I know you can put the blog at blog.mydomain.com, but that is not a solution in our case

    You won’t be able to redirect to the other heroku app and maintain http://www.mydomain.com/blog in the address bar. To do what you want in traditional hosting would require a reverse proxy to be setup which is not possible on Heroku – you would see .heroku.com.

    If you’re happy to redirect to the heroku.com – something like

    get '/blog'
  redirect 'http://<appname>.heroku.com'
end

    If blog.mydomain.com isn’t an option then the only option is to combine the sinatra app and the blog app into one app on http://www.mydomain.com and go from there.
