There is nothing the server can do, because the "location" window shows the URL
that the *client* send the request to. The client has no idea what happens on the
server side.

I do this, in order:
(1) Design my UI with enough navigation controls that the user does not need to be
tempted into using the location window (or back/forward etc.).
(2) Teach users that the location shown is absolutely and totally irrelevant in a
web application (as opposed to a web site).
(3) Use a framed presentation (even if not needed for anything else). Only the URL
of the frameset page will show.
(4) Use JavaScript to open a window with no location window, so that there are no
distractions.
