redirect Location but not URL
rather than redirect, how about just send a get request using request module
and do a callback to update content.
var request = require('request');app.route('/old').get(function(req, res, next) { request.get('/new', function(err, response, body) { if (!err) { req.send(body); } }); });
You can have a helper method that both routes use:
express = require('express');app = express();const newHandler = function(req, res, next) { res.send('This is the new route');};app.route('/old').get(newHandler);app.route('/new').get(newHandler);app.listen(3000);Note, req.url will be different inside newHandler for the two different routes, so you may need to handle that.
