Hi all! Im running Java pages on my server. Basically, all pages will have a direct url like http://mydomain.com:8080/mydir What I did is for user not to type a long url by simply typing the normal domain such as http://www.mydomain.com and redirecting to http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir. What appears to be my problem is how to avoid the whole http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir url appear on the browser which is when I type in the absolute domain, http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir url will just map into http://www.mydomain.com which will eventually appear on the client's browser.
This is what happens when you do a redirect: - Browser requests http://www.mydomain.com - Server answers with "I don't have this, but try http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir in stead. - Browser requests http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir And for this reason the new URL apears on the adress line of the browser. This is by design. If you want to hide the fact that resources are not where they apear to be you need to use reverse proxying, not redirection.
