    Rafi1 That is definitely possible but keep in mind that while the client sees path "/abc/def" the server will see only "/" which is the root of the website. So if you decide to change all paths that the client sees to "/" just make sure that the path "/" has all the content that you're looking for. Again, this is another reason why obfuscating the path really isn't the path to go down to provide security for your website over something such as a login token or any other security measure you can take over obfuscation.

Rafi1 As long as you will always change HTTP Path "/" to "/abc/def" this would work but purely based on how most websites function it seems like "/" is the default web page for the website so this will most likely cause issues for you. This would be easier to achieve if you had lets say path "/button" the hidden path for "/abc/def" and could be achieved using string map. What is the reason to hide the HTTP path from the end user?
