In law, a redirect is the reexamination of a witness by the lawyer who originally called them to testify -- that is, the one who delivered the direct examination. It occurs immediately after the cross-examination of the witness. The judge is not typically obliged to grant a lawyer's request for a redirect.
In the HTTP computer protocol used by the World Wide Web, a redirect is a response with a status code of 301. Such responses are used to indicate to the user agent that the requested resource has been moved to a different URL.
