Describe the Bug

I migrate old Tumblr blog to AstroJS. I have old links domain.com/post/123, which I would like to save. At the end I will have pages:

• domain.com/post/123 - one post page
• domain.com/post - empty route
• domain.com/archive - list of all post with pagination

I want to have 301 redirect from domain.com/post to domain.com/archive.

What I did:

The code of src/pages/post.astro:

---
Astro.redirect('/archive');
---

In the browser I have 2 options:

• domain.com/post/ (with trailing slash) - page of error 404;
• domain.com/post (without trailing slash) - empty page, no errors in console.

My config astro.config.mjs:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from "@astrojs/mdx";
import node from "@astrojs/node";

export default defineConfig({
  trailingSlash: 'never',
  integrations: [mdx()],
  output: 'server',
  adapter: node({
    mode: "standalone"
  })
});

You need to return your redirect.

---
return Astro.redirect('/archive');
