RedirectWasHitEvent

New in version 12.0

The PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Redirects\Event\RedirectWasHitEvent is fired in the \TYPO3\CMS\Redirects\Http\Middleware\RedirectHandler middleware and allows extension authors to further process the matched redirect and to adjust the PSR-7 response.

Example: Disable the hit count increment for monitoring tools

TYPO3 already implements the EXT:redirects/Classes/EventListener/IncrementHitCount.php (GitHub) listener. It is used to increment the hit count of the matching redirect record, if the feature "redirects.hitCount" is enabled. In case you want to prevent the increment in some cases, for example if the request was initiated by a monitoring tool, you can either implement your own listener with the same identifier (redirects-increment-hit-count) or add your custom listener before and dynamically set the records disable_hitcount flag.

EXT:my_extension/Classes/Redirects/EventListener/MyEventListener.php
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyVendor\MyExtension\Redirects\EventListener;

use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener;
use TYPO3\CMS\Redirects\Event\RedirectWasHitEvent;

#[AsEventListener(
    identifier: 'my-extension/redirects/validate-hit-count',
    before: 'redirects-increment-hit-count',
)]
final readonly class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(RedirectWasHitEvent $event): void
    {
        $matchedRedirect = $event->getMatchedRedirect();

        // This will disable the hit count increment in case the target
        // is the page 123 and the request is from the monitoring tool.
        if (str_contains($matchedRedirect['target'], 'uid=123')
            && $event->getRequest()->getAttribute('normalizedParams')
                ->getHttpUserAgent() === 'my monitoring tool'
        ) {
            $matchedRedirect['disable_hitcount'] = true;
            $event->setMatchedRedirect(
                $matchedRedirect,
            );

            // Also add a custom response header
            $event->setResponse(
                $event->getResponse()->withAddedHeader(
                    'X-My-Custom-Header',
                    'Hit count increment skipped',
                ),
            );
        }
    }
}
