Subject: Subsitution Rule and Redirection
it has to do with whether the mapping is made at a high enough level for the browser to see it or whether instead the server masks the mapping from the browser. I’m not sure of the terminology used in the internet sites world, because I’m still using the old R5-style web configurations, but one of them (probably redirection) will redirect the browser to the specified URL, which means the browser is told to go to the new URL, and it does – and that new address is displayed to the user in the address bar. The other type of rule maps the replacement URL at the web server level, and I don’t think that the browser even knows that it’s displaying a different page – so the address bar continues to display the URL the user entered.
Try it and see. HTH.
