PATH
FORWARDING
Let's assume you have an account at
ForwardingWeb called yourdomain.com which forwards to
members.tripod.com/~site.
With path forwarding the URI is
retained (for example, http://www.yourdomain.com/help/ is the URL,
the URI is /help/).
In other
words, if someone went to www.yourdomain.com/links.html it would forward to
members.tripod.com/~site/links.html.
Please note that path forwarding doesn't
work for some browser versions and settings. Unfortunately, this is
unavoidable with current technology. For example, it will not work in the following situations:
- Older browsers prior to version3. In
particular, path forwarding does not work for WebTV users whose
browsers are version2.
- Users who don't use the default
(standard) browser settings. Some users have set their browsers to the
High Security settings, which tells their browsers to override
services such as path forwarding.
In Internet Explorer, it will only work if
you deactivate (uncheck) its internal HTTP error messages. You can do this
as follows:
Tools > Internet
Options > Advanced > Browsing > Uncheck Show Friendly HTTP Error
