Can ACE rewrite the URL sent back to the browser?

[robin.vanacoleyen]

Hi,

I want to know that if there is a link on a webpage, for example: www.test.com/folder1/folder2/index.html

Would be it be possible to rewrite this so that when the webserver provides you with that page, that the ACE rewrites the given URL so that the browser only says in the URL bar: www.test.com

Or is this impossible and would the webserver itself need to do this rewrite?

Thanks!

Hi Robin,

As per my understanding, when you click on that link the URL would say www.test.com/folder1/folder2/index.html in URL bar. ACE can rewrite URL and forward to server or can modify server response but i am not sure if there's anyway you can get the URL change in the bar after you click on hyperlink and webpage loads. May be you can have redirection but not rewrite here.
