Redirect annotations for a route

[benben]

When defining a route, there are already some annotations available for rewriting traffic (haproxy.router.openshift.io/rewrite-target: /).

It would be awesome if there would be also a way to add a permanent and temporary redirect annotation to a route.

If this feature would exist, you could get the reverse proxy functionality roughly 90% of all users need out of the box without the need to operate another service for redirects, hack the router or configure your own ingress.

Something like this would be enough and would be possible to do in HAProxy:

haproxy.router.openshift.io/redirect-status: 301
haproxy.router.openshift.io/redirect-target: /better-redirect-to-this-url
