I really hope the hostname portion is excluded from this; if not,
then the world will be hit by a whole new set of scams. =(

Thanks Guys!!! I will go ahead with Redirect approach. I was more interested
in building a generic framework for my application that would handle such

Then, as somebody suggested, start using Catalyst framework. It will handle
I think you need to do a redirect. From within your mod_perl handler try
something like this:
$r->content_type("text/plain");
$r->headers_out->set(Location=>$url);
return Apache2::Const::HTTP_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT;

Exactly.
And I would add that before you start trying to implement you own authentication logic,
you should really think twice.

Agree with the consensus. The URI should be descriptive of the
function, so any requests to /login should be from users who are
attempting to... login. The home page should be housed under a separate
URL (/home for example)
After the user has authenticated, the login module should redirect

Hi Edward,
I have the following design:
A single PerlResponseHandler for all requests. This handler based on the
path decides the action to be taken
For example, if the user submits to www.example.com/login, then the handler
delegates the request to authentication module,
Much better to go with a more RESTful approach - the URL is the identifier
for the page and you don't want that identifier to represent the wrong page,
e.g. if example.com/login sometimes returns the home page and sometimes
returns some other page (assuming you can login from and return to multiple

Nope, not possible.
You need to do that redirection somehow.
What the user sees in the address bar is the URL accessed by the browser. If

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 sp
