base URL - hide from being accessed -- only make user URLS available

[ginettanyk]

Hi, I have a scenario whereby I don't want the base URL to be visible.
We have tried to use redirect to head over to our main website (html header redirect) but that also impacts the user defined URLs for them to access their files.

update:
I also tried using javascript to redirect if the URL has a hash, but that won't work either as the user url also has a hash.
I stood up an nginx reverse proxy server and I had no luck in redirecting base URL and leave the user URL in tact.

Another update:
I added a javascript section that checks if the URL has a "?" in it, if it does, the page get's displayed as expected, otherwise it is redirected elsewhere so the base URL is avoided.
If you have a more elegant way to do this I would appreciate knowing how.

Much obliged,
Nick
