Redirect from asp.net web api post action

Question

I'm very new to ASP.NET 4.0 Web API. Can we redirect to another URL at the end of the POST action?, something like ... Response.Redirect(url)

Actually I upload file from a MVC application (say www.abcmvc.com) through Web API (say www.abcwebapi.com/upload)

Here upload is the POST action. I post a multi-part form to Web API upload controller's post action. After uploading I would like to redirect back to www.abcmvc.com.

Is this possible?

Sure:

public HttpResponseMessage Post()
{
    // ... do the job

    // now redirect
    var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Moved);
    response.Headers.Location = new Uri("http://www.abcmvc.com");
    return response;
}
