How does web server implements url rewrite mechanism and changes the address bar of browsers?
I’m not asking specific information to configure apache, nginx, lighthttpd or other!
I would like to know what kind of information is sent to clients when servers want rewrite url?
Are you talking about server-side rewrites (like Apache mod-rewrite)? For those, the address bar does not generally change (unless a redirection is performed).
Or are you talking about redirections? These are done by having the server respond with an HTTP code (301, 302 or 307) and the location in the HTTP header.
