Go HTTP Redirect
This is a simple HTTP redirect service which can be run as a stand-alone service. It can be optionally run on Heroku which is the initial use case.
Heroku provides easy hosting with default hostnames at https://{projectName}.herokuapp.com. This project provides an easy way to deploy a project to Heroku to redirect traffice to another URL.
No code modifications are necessary. URL and HTTP status are both set via environment variables.

-
REDIRECT_URL: URL where the requestor should be redirected. -
