Possible values
0 = off, 1 = on (redirect rules are evaluated)

Description

In the Web Site / Internet Site document, Domino supports declarative redirect rules (pattern → target URL, optionally with a status code). HTTPProcessRedirects=1 enables the HTTP task to evaluate these rules. This allows path rewrites, domain switches, or targeted HTTPS forwards to be implemented without an external reverse proxy. Without this switch, the redirect rules in the Site document remain ineffective.

Example configuration

HTTPProcessRedirects=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Only effective in combination with activated Site documents (xsp.config.activated=1 or “Load Internet configurations from ServerInternet Sites” in the Server document).
  • The order of the rules in the Site document matters; the first matching rule wins.
  • Changes require an HTTP restart (tell http restart).
  • Recommended on production Internet servers instead of maintaining redirects via custom filters / bind mappings.
