Looking for ideas on how to redirect from ADF sites to API sites

We have several Geocortex ADF sites in use that will eventually be replaced with REST API sites.  I would really like to find a way to redirect users from the ADF sites to the replacement site, on site by site basis if possible.

For example, if the path to the ADF "web" directory is in the form of  " http://aggisdev/Geocortex/Essentials/<instance>/Web/viewer.aspx?Site=<SiteName> " I would like to have the redirect occur when the "SiteName" is accessed rather than at the "viewer.aspx" level.

Is that a possibility within the site.xml file?

My other thought is to wait until all the sites within an instance are converted, then do a redirect in the default.aspx and/or viewer.aspx files.  However, I suspect bookmarks in the form of http://aggisdev/Geocortex/Essentials/<instance>/Web/viewer.aspx?Site=<SiteName> will fail if a redirect is introduced to the viewer.aspx file.

Is anyone else dealing with redirecting existing ADF sites to API sites?  Any other ideas on how this could be done?

Thanks,

Steve

p.s.  I've seen in the Road Ahead seminars that Latitude is working on a migration tool.  Any chance a redirect function could be part of that migration tool?

  We had this same issue and solved it by using IIS URL Rewrite to redirect users and it wasn't that difficult to setup.
