How to set up a "blind or alias" url

Can anyone tell me how to set up a "blind or alias" url. Example: I have a web site that clients come to. I also want them to buy computers but the computers stuff is on another site. I don't want the client to see the other actual url but one that I make up. How can I do this?

There are many ways to do it in Perl.

i.e. LWP::Simple

Since you posted this to Apache forum, I assume you want the Apache way.

Start here -> http://www.engelschall.com/pw/apache/rewriteguide/#ToC26

Here is my example should you not understand anything about it...

1) create a "test" directory as shown below: http://www.foobar.com/test

2) create an .htaccess file at http://www.foobar.com/test/.htaccess

3) put the following in your .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/$1 [P]

4) then quickly go to http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/ and take a look

5) then go to your own http://www.foobar.com/test/

Thank you. I put it here in Apache because I couldn't think where else to post it.

Regards,

Use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse, part of mod_proxy (no Perl required).

Use something like:

ProxyPass /store/ https://store.otherdomain.com/

ProxyPassReverse https://store.otherdomain.com/ /store/
