Backend module for managing redirects. This extension provides a backend module for managing redirects for
multiple sites and languages. The extension hooks into a preprocess request and checks for a redirect record with the
same url as the requested url. A redirect will be initiated to the defined redirect destination if a redirect record exists for this request.
