The redirect() method of the Response interface returns a Response resulting in a redirect to the specified URL.
Note: This is mainly relevant to the ServiceWorker API. A controlling service worker could intercept a page's request and redirect it as desired. This will actually lead to a real redirect if a service worker sends it upstream.
Syntax
var response = Response.redirect(url, status);
Parameters
url- The URL that the new response is to originate from.
statusOptional- An optional status code for the response (e.g.,
302.)
Return value
A Response object.
