1 - Q: How to redirect to another extractor?
2 - A:
3 - Most simple using only `url_result`
4 ```
5 # get proper url first if needed.
6 return self.url_result(url)
7 ```
8 - Using `_request_webpage` and `to_screen` in addition
9 ```
10 urlh = self._request_webpage(
11 url, id, note='Downloading redirect page')
12 url = urlh.geturl()
13 self.to_screen('Following redirect: %s' % url)
14 return self.url_result(url)
15 ```
16 - Using `return` construction
17 ```
18 return {
19 '_type': 'url_transparent',
20 'url': url,
21 'ie_key': ExampleIE.ie_key(),
22 'id': id,
23 }
24 # Alternative if extractor supports internal uri like kaltura
25 return {
26 '_type': 'url_transparent',
27 'url': 'kaltura:%s:%s' % (partner_id, kaltura_id),
28 'ie_key': KalturaIE.ie_key(),
29 'id': id,
30 }
31 ```
