X-Redirect-By header for pages with redirect types

The following page types trigger a redirect:

Those redirects will send an additional HTTP Header X-Redirect-By, stating what type of page triggered the redirect. By enabling the global option $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['exposeRedirectInformation'] the header will also contain the page ID. As this exposes internal information about the TYPO3 system publicly, it should only be enabled for debugging purposes.

For shortcut and mountpoint pages:

Generated HTTP header
X-Redirect-By: TYPO3 Shortcut/Mountpoint
# exposeRedirectInformation is enabled
X-Redirect-By: TYPO3 Shortcut/Mountpoint at page with ID 123
Copied!

For Links to External URL:

Generated HTTP header
X-Redirect-By: TYPO3 External URL
# exposeRedirectInformation is enabled
X-Redirect-By: TYPO3 External URL at page with ID 456
Copied!

The header X-Redirect-By makes it easier to understand why a redirect happens when checking URLs, e.g. by using curl:

Using curl to check the HTTP header
curl -I 'https://example.org/examples/pages/link-to-external-url/'
