.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _deprecation-85124: ========================================================= Deprecation: #85124 - Redirecting urlHandler Hook Concept ========================================================= See :issue:`85124` Description =========== The URL handler concept introduced in TYPO3 v7 to allow pages to do redirects has been deprecated in favor of using PSR-7 / PSR-15 middlewares. The Redirect URL handlers were used for e.g. jumpURLs, pages that should redirect to an external URL or special handlings registered via the :php:`\TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Http\UrlHandlerInterface`. All functionality and methods have been marked as deprecated and will be removed in TYPO3 v10.0. Impact ====== Calling :php:`$TSFE->initializeRedirectUrlHandlers()` and :php:`$TSFE->redirectToExternalUrl()` will trigger a PHP :php:`E_USER_DEPRECATED` error. Affected Installations ====================== TYPO3 Installations with extensions registering a urlHandler via :php:`$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['urlProcessing']['urlHandlers']`. Migration ========= Check the extension scanner if the site is affected and migrate to a PSR-15 middleware. .. index:: Frontend, PHP-API, FullyScanned
