public class NewUrlRequestEditor

extends HttpRequestEditor

A basic Request Editor which forwards to a new URL, replacing the requested URL with the new one. (It does not change anything else in the request, e.g. any posted data). It has one property that can be set: NewURL. This property is used to specify the URL from which to get the document.

Note the difference between this class and PageMovedGenerator. A PageMovedGenerator sends a response back to the client, redirecting it to a new URL. In this case, the client knows that it has been sent elsewhere. So, for example, relative links in the document will be interpreted from the new URL. If the NewURLRequestEditor is used, the client simply receives the content from the new URL, but does not know where the document came from.
