           Summary: Utility / Syntactic sugar
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_alias
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: belg4mit@mit.edu


The dox may state:

Sends an external redirect asking the client to fetch a different URL

And -t will report:

Syntax error on line 846 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Redirect to non-URL

But I fail to see why Redirect and family could not more usefully allow
statements of the type:

RedirectPermanent       /services       /manual/services

and prepend the host_name if the 2nd arg is not a URI.

This allows for a clean, clear and light-weight replacement for simpler
uses of mod_rewrite... without ugly redundancy of many http://test.example s
in the configuration file.
