If you are looking to do this for "cosmetic reasons", I do this be simply using frame sets and doing redirects in the child frame. The URL displayed in the location bar will always be constant for the parent frame. I don't think there is any way to do this at the core level or it would be a spoofers windfall. The browser will always have the actual location in the info panel.

The URL visible on client browser must be based on some condition that is evaluated in my mod_perl handler. For example - 1. User types the URL - www.example.com<http://www.example.com/>, this will display the login page. 2. Once the user enters the credentials and hits submit, the request is posted to www.example.com/login<http://www.example.com/login> action. 3. If the credentials entered by the user is valid then i would like to show the home page..uri 4. I am able to show the homw page, but the URL does not change to www.example.com/home<http://www.example.com/home>, instead it remains the same (i.e. www.example.com/login<http://www.example.com/login>). I am using Template toolkit to render my pages. I tried $req->url('/home'), but that does not change the browser URI. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Jerry
