URL Redirection/Rewritting/IE browser Bar Changin values   

hi all, i have made asp.net application in C#. suppose my site adress is 
abc.com
    I have pages related to admin and user but there are no folder, there 
are internal page links on my site, like login link, when login link is 
clicked within site user is redirected to "abc.com/login.aspx" and this 
appear as it is on Ie browser bar, what i want is it should  
"abc.com/admin/login.aspx" or "abc.com" (change browser bar adress and use 
httpcontext.rewritepath() method), 
    There more similar situations like this but that is simplest, i know 
other solution of that instead of login.aspx, link href should be 
"/admin/login.aspx" but i dont want this solution and use 
httpcontext.Rewritepath() method.
  what i am intrested is href should be "abc.com/login.aspx" but afer 
clicking on link and on post back  Browser bar should display 
"abc.com/admin/login.aspx" or only "abc.com", i want change values from 
browser bar.
   i hope you understand this problem i am doing this asp.net C#.

The only way to get /admin/login.aspx to show up in the browser's URL/
Address Bar is to either send a href=/admin/login.aspx or send a 302
Redirection and make the Browser actually go to /admin/login.aspx .

In other words, you're going to have to put something at /admin/
login.aspx to handle the request, or do the rewriting stuff.

Personally, I see no reason in changing the URL. Who cares what it
looks like as long as the correct web page shows up. It's not as if
you expect any random user to successfully copy/paste that URL and
automagically login or do some admin task -- that would be a failure
in your authentication system.

Re: URL Redirection/Rewritting/IE browser Bar Changin values   

URL Rewriting like HttpContext.RewritePath() only does the
modification server-side, and only within ASP.Net (unless it calls
IIS's HSE_REQ_EXEC_URL underneath the scenes, which I haven't observed
it to do). Thus, the browser client-side will *never* see that appear
in the browser bar.

How to make your desired URL show up in the browser's URL/Address Bar
requires the browser to actually request the URL -- either via an HREF
link the user/script clicks on, or via a 302 Redirection sent by the
server in response to a prior request.

You may want to double check what your PM claims. It does not match
with what you observe, and it does not match any expected behavior of
the web server/client.

Re: URL Redirection/Rewritting/IE browser Bar Changin values   

URL Rewriters can often do redirection, too. 
IIRF does redirection, which would change the address in the browser bar.
