I am having problems with splats in redirects files: This is my _redirects file: /* /.netlify/functions/image?file=:splat 200 I would expect this to take the full request path and supply it as the file parameter to my function. My function just outputs whatever it gets in file right now: http…

Hey @janpio ! :wave:t2: Welcome to the Community :slight_smile: Also great timing. I actually just built a little system yesterday that uses a redirect just like that to fall HTML requests back to a function :nerd_face: What I found is that when you’re using a 302 redirect to the function (which ca…

Thanks will test that out and report back if this works for me. Seems like an inaccuracy in either the implementation or the documentation about it though that cost me quite some time :confused:

Yeah :confused: it may be one of those fringe cases that operates a bit tricky. I happen to be doing dev on a project that has a test function. Let me try that out live real quick and make sure my prior notes are correct :+1:t2:

Yes, that indeed works for me: https://netlify-redirect-foo.netlify.app/lala outputs lala now with this code: const file = event.path.substring(1)

Alright, so I ran some test cases and did indeed find some interesting results. Setup Given the following _redirects record for a splat-injected rewrite: /test/* /.netlify/functions/test-rewrite-to-function?parm=:splat 200 I ran the following tests (using my favorite CLI tool, httpie : Standard: …

Unfortunately, while it does look like the redirect should be parsed correctly from the netlify-redirect-parser source code, the netlify-redirector (the engine that actually executes the redirects) is one of Netlify’s few closed-source projects. Wasm is real :sweat_smile: Hopefully the official team…

Hey y’all! So, I’m pretty sure I’ve had a very similar discussion not too long ago. It’s not the best news but hopefully it’ll give you some answers! [image] Redirect/Rewrite to function seems broken? Support Hi. So I am having a bit of a problem with netlify redirects …

Nice! Thanks for the follow up @Scott ! I probably should’ve searched before doing my own digging Community :man_facepalming:t2: but glad to know it’s known and confirmed. Appreciate it! I ended up doing similar - just parsing the path in the Function :grin: – Jon

I actually read that, but was not sure if it was similar to my problem as it kept talking about query parameters - which I don’t use. But maybe I did not get the gist of the thread at all, rereading it now with what I do know now it seems quite relevant indeed. Still a bug/limitation in my opinion …

I am not sure if this is limited to Rewrites to functions by the way or applies also to rewrites to external URLs or other internal URLs that are not functions. I would expect the same problem to be present there really.

Until this bug (?) gets fixed, you can try the following workaround: [image] Redirect/Rewrite to function seems broken? Support I too hope this gets fixed soon, but until then I would like to share another possible workaround. The following line currently does NOT work (n…
