Thanks Andre and Tim for the quick response. I do not have an apache server right now. So URL Rewrite tool seems like a good solution. However, I understand that the URL rewrite mechanism ends up losing any parameters when a HTTP POST request is sent to my domain resource. While I am right now downloading and will do a complete read up on URLRewriter, could you give me quick heads up based on your experience of this tool, if it handles HTTP Post request and does it preserve my parameters. ?
