MVC app redirecting to domain name


I have inherited an MVC app which seems to not want to start properly.

When I run the app it initially goes to http://localhost:63744 but then immediately 301 redirects to http://www.thecompanydomainname.com.

I can't seem to find what is causing the redirect I have looked in the home controller and it seems to have an index action but before it gets there the redirect is happening. I should also mention that this mvc site is partly using Umbraco.

I realise that this is impossible to diagnose without having access to the project but I just wondered if anyone have any ideas as to why this might be redirecting and where I should look for the redirecting code?

Many thanks, Kiran


Solution

  • I was being stupid. The browser had cached the first 301 (perm redirect) and from that point on simply redirected the request before it got to the application.

    I solved (in chrome) this by going to chrome://net-internals. On the right of the top red status bar, click on the down arrow ▼ to open the drop-down menu, and under the "Tools" group, choose "Clear cache".
