Url-forwarding and url cloaking

[awww]

When url cloaking is set the REQUESTED_URI is lost.

If you have http://mydomain.com forwarded with cloaking to http://me.myhost.com and you open:

http://mydomain.com/a_folder/a_page.php

you will be redirected to

http://me.myhost.com/

instead of:

http://me.myhost.com/a_folder/a_page.php


This also makes users unable to keep favorites, preserving REQUESTED_URI data would be a nice and I think very easy feature to add.

Thanks

This also makes users unable to keep favorites, preserving REQUESTED_URI data would be a nice and I think very easy feature to add.(edit) After second thought, I think it would need to be configurable, or at least smart enough to look at the forwarded URL. Example: I've got a user forwarding to www.hisdomain.com/subpage.htm instead of a separate directory. If it obeyed the REQUESTED_URI in his case, where would it end up? It's possible, but after thinking about it a minute I kind of see why they did it this way.

Regardless, it wouldn't resolve your favorites issue. The whole concept of the cloak loads your page in a frameset, which doesn't update the nav bar with any page clicks. So if somebody tries to add a bookmark, they're going to get either the actual page (mysite.com/mydomain/test.htm) or the forwarded domain (www.mydomain.com).
