Redirect URL parameters to default app

ShinyProxy
1

Hi all -

I’m trying to figure out how to configure shinyproxy so that it will pass on URL parameters to a default app.

In other words, when the .yml file is set to send them to a specific app, as in

landing-page: /app_direct/survey

The URL parameters are not passed on when the user is redirected. The URL parameters are captured correctly when I send the user to the link directly rather than to the landing page.

Is there any way to set up the landing-page so that shinyproxy passed on the URL parameters to the default/first app?

Hi

This is currently indeed not supported. I understand the use-case and we will fix this in a next release.
If you are using a reverse proxy or loadbalancer, you could maybe setup the redirect over there.

Thanks for the feedback, and glad to hear it will be added to the todo list. Yes I’ve been thinking of using a link shortener as an easy way to do the redirect without a lot of additional work (e.g. have the link shortener point directly to app_direct).
