History for ReDirection

**Redirection Notes**
*I find redirection in a complex apache/ssl/virtual-hosts/site-access/redirector environment to be a little confusing. Here are my working notes*
**Objective**:To reach a CMF portal or other zope sub-object with a nicer, simpler URL
**Different ways of doing it**
- Using Site Root and Access
"Generalized Site Access Rule from imeme.net":http://imeme.net/clients/documentation/virtual_hosting
- Redirector Product (watch out for cache confusion)
- Virtual Host Folder Product
- ApacheRules
- "Best Documentation on siteaccess":http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess2/info
**Redirector Issues**
- If I try to redirect a folder to a sub-folder in the same zope tree, I cannot use the full URL, only a relative URL, otherwise Redirector appends **http:** to the end of the redirected URL.
**Siteroot Issues**
- use **//url/_SUPPRESS_SITEROOT/manage** to get back into a siterooted area when locked out
- use **//url/_SUPPRESS_ACCESSRULE/manage** to get back into a linked folder (with the property **link_to** set to the linked folder, and a "method":http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1003844578 made into site access rule)
**Future** "remove siteroot access rules and VHM from TTW":http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/SiteAccessUsuabilityImprovements
