Send user to external site in coldfusion

I am trying to redirect a user to a different URL in coldfusion after the user logs out. Nothing comes to the top of my head besides linkTo() or urlFor() to accomplish this, but the thing is, I am not linking to another cfm page, I am wanting to send the user to a different URL completely.

What is the best way to send a user to a new URL after they signout, check code below.

public string function logOut() {
    auth.logOut();
    return forward('public.Home', 'home');
}
Solution

  • The <cflocation> tag comes to mind. Inside a cfscript block, it's the location() function. Details are in the documentation.
