1. Proposed title of this feature request
=> Allow creation of "redirecting routes"
3. What is the nature and description of the request?
=> We think that it would be interesting for OpenShift to cover the following user case: "As a user, I would like to be able to create a route that sends a redirect to a given URL instead of serving contents from one or more pods backed by a service".
This would, for example, ease migration of applications between different OpenShift instances (at different data centers) and/or migrate users from a OSE3 standard route to a hostname belonging to a regional load balancer, balancing among two OSE3 clusters.
Most load balancers can be configured to send a redirect instead of serving a web page under certain conditions. HAProxy is one of them. So, it should be as easy as detecting these kind of routes and setting up HAProxy config so that a redirect is sent when the hostame/path of the route is called.
6. List any affected packages or components.

From Clayton Coleman email:
It's a pretty fundamental scope increase to routes, and starts to diverge significantly from ingress. I think it needs a bit more discussion around those areas.

Phil, any updates? I noticed the trello card is blocked until ingress support has been added. Is that still the case?
This bug has been identified as a dated (created more than 3 months ago) bug.
This bug has been triaged (has a trello card linked to it), or reviewed by Engineering/PM and has been put into the product backlog,
however this bug has not been slated for a currently planned release (3.9, 3.10 or 3.11), which cover our releases for the rest of the calendar year.
As a result of this bugs age, state on the current roadmap and PM Score (being below 70), this bug is being Closed - Differed,
as it is currently not part of the products immediate priorities.
