Please see attached patch for pgweb that allows for the documentation to be redirected from a page that is removed to a newer page. The way it works:
- Checks to see if a page is found. If it is, great! - Now if a page 404s, we first check to see if there is a forwarding address, i.e. the new page. If it is, we issue a 301 (permanent redirecTt). - If it's still not found, we abort.
