How to redirect URL with Modify HTTP Response

[King Si]

I need to create a script line for palemoon extension

Modify HTTP Response

that redirect a url to another url, specifically:

www.reddit.com
redirect to:
old.reddit.com

can anyone help?
Note: I tried "URL rewriter" but it doesnt do a thing

You haven't specified any wildcards, so it will only redirect that specific URL. You need to append * to the include pattern and $1 to the redirect.

Attached is my URL Rewriter config. You should be able to figure it out from here,

This should work:

Code: Select all

Include Pattern: ^https://www\.reddit\.com(.*)
Redirect To: https://old.reddit.com$1

I changed the pattern as directed, see the screenshot, the base url goes well i.e., "www.reddit.com" to "old.reddit.com", but after that every slash has %2f things , pasted below:

https://old.reddit.comr%2fg502masterrace%2fcomments%2fbwpl21%2fyet_another_person_whos_mouse_stops_working_after%2f/
changes to
https://www.reddit.com/r/G502MasterRace ... ing_after/

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskProgramming ... _and_less/
changes to
https://old.reddit.comr%2faskprogramming%2fcomments%2f1jqmcw9%2fwill_32bit_apps_always_be_faster_and_less%2f/

I managed to fic to some extent by hit and try method, so now the url
https://www.reddit.com/r/counterstrike/ ... back_then/
changed to
https://old.reddit.com/r/counterstrike% ... ck_then%2F

the /r/ after the old.reddit.com is now ok but the rest of the link still has %2f (the equivalent of / i guess)

the codes i used is:

Redirect: ^https://www\.reddit\.com/r/(.*) to https://old.reddit.com/r/$1
Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11 becomes https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows11

can we you make it better by elimination all "%2f" , s i recall this is due to non unicoode stuff??

Uncheck "Escape matches" (and "Unescape matches", too).

This is what works for me:

Or this GreaseMonkey script:

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Good old Reddit
// @description	Good old Reddit.
// @version		1.0
// @match       *://www.reddit.com/*
// @exclude      https://*.reddit.com/poll/*
// @exclude      https://*.reddit.com/gallery/*
// @exclude      https://*.reddit.com/media*
// @exclude      https://*.reddit.com/notifications
// @exclude      https://chat.reddit.com/*
// @run-at      document-start
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

if ( window.location.host != "old.reddit.com" ) {
    var oldReddit  = window.location.protocol + "//" + "old.reddit.com" + window.location.pathname + window.location.search + window.location.hash;
    window.location.replace (oldReddit);
}

When voting or viewing polls, I just change old.reddit to sh.reddit

Uncheck "Escape matches" (and "Unescape matches", too).

Thanks a lot, this helped me and now all reddit pages are clean and going to old.reddit.

@Gemmaugr
