Catching 301 redirection in rails

There are certain cases in which we are doing a 301 redirect for pages from the controller. redirect_to product_show_path(updated_id), status: :moved_permanently. These redirections are working but we want to setup a custom meta tag when user is landing on a page by a 301 redirect. Is there any way to know it globally that is set it in the application.html.erb file?

Use query string parameters to send additional data with a GET request (a 301 Redirect is always a GET request).

redirect_to product_show_path(updated_id, redirected_from: URI.encode(request.original_url))

This creates a param in the params hash just like any other:

<%= if params[:redirected_from].present? %>
   You where redirected from <%= URI.decode(params[:redirected_from]) %>
<% end %>

This unlike the HTTP_REFERER header works in all browsers.
