When clients use your web-based application, you could "launch" it into a
window that does not have a menubar, address bar, etc. That way, the client
would never know what the URL is.
I use JavaScript to accomplish this:
var remoteURL = "<whatever you want>";
var remoteWindow;
var heightPad = 28;
var widthPad = 10;
var sysHeight = window.screen.availHeight;
var sysWidth = window.screen.availWidth;
var myWidth = 800 - widthPad;
var myHeight = 600 - heightPad;
var xcoord = (sysWidth - myWidth) / 2;
var ycoord = (sysHeight - myHeight) / 2;
var features = "toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,"
+
"scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=" + myWidth +
",height=" + myHeight + ",top=" + ycoord + ",left=" + xcoord;
// Make sure they can only open one window...
if((!remoteWindow) || (remoteWindow.closed)){
remoteWindow = window.open(remoteURL, "WindowName", features, 1);
}
else{
remoteWindow.location.replace(remoteURL);
remoteWindow.focus();
}
This is probably only feasible for Intranet apps, though. I don't know if
the general public is too keen on this sort of thing going on with their
client...
