Redirect to external URL with return in laravel

Question

I am trying to send one time password to a user using SMS INDIA HUB API. For that purpose I need to redirect to a URL format:

http://cloud.smsindiahub.in/vendorsms/pushs

If you're using InertiaJS, the away() approach won't work as seen on the inertiaJS github, they are discussing the best way to create a "external redirect" on inertiaJS, the solution for now is return a 409 status with X-Inertia-Location header informing the url, like this:

return response('', 409)
            ->header('X-Inertia-Location', $paymentLink);

Where paymentLink is the link you want to send the user to.
