Why? Sites that try to take control of the user's browser are usually
just a pain in the arse.
Plus if the user has JS disabled, your page won't work at all...

As I've already said, the Request-Line is *not* part of the server's
HTTP response, but part of the client's (browser's) HTTP request.
The only time the server sends back a URL (that appears in the browser)
in an HTTP response is in a Location header.
--------------------
Off the top of my head, the only way that I could see to do this (and
it's messy), is:
* Do the location.replace(), with the form variables in the GET string.
* Then have the server collect up all the submitted $_GET variables and
dump then in $_SESSION.
* Do a header("Location: http://example.com/simple_url/") redirect.
* At the new location, pick up the variables from the $_SESSION variable.
This is untested.
