RE: Simple redirection at the server level

> From: Brad Stone

> Why the need for the subdir in the path anyway?

My site runs on WebSphere Express.  "PBDWeb" is the context of my
application server.  While the site is currently static, I hope to add
more dynamic content someday.

As to my initial question, it seems that the redirect is the answer; but
I still get confused between a redirect and a URL rewrite.  What are the
pros and cons of these two methods?

And with a redirect, what is the function of the "Status of the URL
Path"?  It allows me to select between various HTTP codes such as 301
and 410; why would I choose one status over the other?
