Long form redirects
AXS supports "short form" redirects by simply supplying the full URL to ax.pl in the query string:
http://xav.com/perl/ax.pl?http://www.yahoo.com/
In addition to the redirection option, the logging script may print a transparent GIF, print an SSI response, or print the debug page. The script chooses from among those four options based on the query string and other environment variables. To avoid confusion, a "long form" calling convention exists which is less error-prone. It uses a "mode" parameter to clearly specify which of the four options should be used:
http://xav.com/perl/ax.pl?mode=ssi http://xav.com/perl/ax.pl?mode=debug http://xav.com/perl/ax.pl?mode=img http://xav.com/perl/ax.pl?mode=redir&nexturl=http://www.yahoo.com/
In cases where you are redirecting to a URL which uses a "mode" parameter of its own, you must use the long form. The redirect URL must be URL-encoded as well.
Example
http://www.mysite.tld/?a=b&x=y&mode=1 # destination URL # MUST use long form due to presence of 'mode' param http%3A//www.mysite.tld/%3Fa%3Db%26x%3Dy%26mode%3D1%0D%0A # URL encoding of destination URL http://xav.com/perl/ax.pl?mode=redir&nexturl=http%3A//www.mysite.tld/%3Fa%3Db%26x%3Dy%26mode%3D1%0D%0A # example of correct "long form" redirect link
