Hi silver,

 

 

Sorry to hear that it isn't working for you. Let's try this.

 

 

What is the location the user is going to request?

 

http://www.website.com/testcustomer/testcontext.html

 

or

 

http://www.website.com/testcustomer/testcontext/html/index.html

 

 

Then what do you want them to be changed to?

 

http://www.website.com/hiddendir1/hiddendir2/testcontext.html

 

or

 

http://www.website.com/hiddendir1/hiddendir2/html/testcontext.html

 

 

I would suggest only trying to manipulate the directory structure by injecting or removing parts of the path. If you try a full on web PAGE hide then things are going to get ugly in a hurry (becuase you have to account for the directory structure of the target page and all directory strutures that page depends on to pull content like Images, CSS Files, etc.)
