Please keep in mind that not everyone runs JS.  Several other
posters have mentioned using meta tags in the document, and how
to configure Ap to send a native 30x code.

If you absolutely must do this in JS... please provide a manual
link for those who turn scripting off.  But I'd do it all in
HTTP.
