The redirect()
method of the Response
interface returns a Response
resulting in a redirect to the specified URL.
Note: This is mainly relevant to the ServiceWorker API. A controlling service worker could intercept a page's request and redirect it as desired. This will actually lead to a real redirect if a service worker sends it upstream.
