Hi Prithvi,

I'm still in the "before newbie" stage but I guess it won't work the way
you expect. I think it works this way:

You say: "Hey, give me  http://localhost/";
And you get: "Hey, you should send request for
http://localhost/default.html (or http://localhost/tp/default.html) to
the server"

And then in the next request you can get the content of the page you are
redirected to. So what you get is the information that you should send
request for another page, not the new page itself. You'll get the new
page on the next request (if you make the next request).

I hope this helps.
