Redirector (Ratpack API (2.0.0-rc-1))

```
public interface Redirector
```
Interprets objects as a Location header value, and issues the redirect response.
The redirector is not typically called directly. Instead, handlers use the redirect(Context, int, Object) method (or similar) that obtains a redirector from the context registry. Ratpack provides a default implementation that is used unless a custom implementation is available.
It is rarely necessary to implement a custom redirector. One reason to do so though is to use domain objects to represent redirect destinations instead of strings. For example, a custom redirector may know how to transform a Person object within your application to a relevant URL. It may be more convenient to implement such a mapping between domain objects and URLs within a custom redirector. Such custom redirectors typically wrap the standard() implementation.

static Redirector standard()
```
    The default redirect issuing strategy.
    Ratpack makes this redirector available via the base server registry, making it the default.
    NOTE: prior to version 1.9, redirects were always issued as absolute URLs. Relative redirects were converted to absolute using the PublicAddress. As of 1.9 and later, the relative redirect is issued.
    
    Returns:

    Implementations may interpret the to value in any manner. See standard() for details on the default strategy.
