: IIRC, when I was experimenting with this a number of years ago, I had an
: ASP page that would post the username/password and retrieve the resulting
: page, return that to the user along with an HTTP "Location:"(?) header
: pointing to the new URL (so that any relative links on the page would work
: properly).

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by the HTTP "Location:" header?

Actually, I believe it should be the "Content-Location:" header. This HTTP head instructs the browser that the "real" location of the content is somewhere else, which means that relative URLs will be based on the Content-Location. For example, if your web page http://www.example.com/logon.htm has a Content-Location: header of "Content-Location: http://mail.example.com:8383/X1234561234561234556/main.cgi";, and there's a link "read.cgi" on that page, then the browser will show the link as "http://mail.example.com:8383/X1234561234561234556/read.cgi"; (instead of http://www.example.com/read.cgi, which it would do without the Content-Location: header).


Again, it's not as easy as it looks at first, but it can be done. :)
