Currently using Simple301 (old, archived redirect package) which is working fine for content nodes, but not working for media (e.g. pdf), working on implementing a replacement for this package but I am unable to find a way to use the IContentFinder interface's TryFindContent method to also match media items.
The IContentFinder will also match incoming requests to the media folder, and you can use a custom IContentFinder in order to provide a redirect for a Media Url however... if the file still exists on disk, it will always be served before Umbraco gets a chance to run it's pipeline of IContentFinders...
so if you delete the Media Item, and then delete it from the Recycle Bin - then request the url to the Media Item and it now 404s, you should then be able to use an IContentFinder to create a redirect.
Alternative for IContentFinder when trying to match media redirects?

Any idea's?

Have a look at Skybrud redirects for a pretty full functioning redirects package: https://github.com/skybrud/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/tree/dev-v7
