I want to create a webapp that dynamically redirects to a URL, based on address that user typed. When a user visit my site by a address like this:

I want redirect this user to URL:

http://mydomain2.com/register.php?id=a1b2c3d4&from=mydomain1.com

Yay, I love a good fight!

from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid.httpexceptions import HTTPFound
from paste.httpserver import serve

config = Configurator()

config.add_route('redirect', '/{arg}')

def redirect_view(request):
    dst = 'http://mydomain2.com/register.php?id={id}&from={host}'
    args = {
        'id': request.matchdict['arg'],
        'host': request.host,
    }
    return HTTPFound(dst.format(**args))
config.add_view(redirect_view, route_name='redirect')

serve(config.make_wsgi_app(), host='0.0.0.0', port=80)
