Change the URL in the browser while redirecting the user to aliasTo option of pathAlias

[Pawan Verma]

Hello Devs,

In CMS, we can redirect the user to different path alias using 'aliasTo'
field of *WebSitePathAlias* entity.

Example -
 <WebSitePathAlias pathAlias="demoHome" webSiteId="CmsSite"
fromDate="2019-05-01 00:00:00.0"  aliasTo="newDemoHome"  />

Based on the above data, if the user hit the
https://localhost:8443/cmssite/cms/demoHome, the CMS will internally render
the content for 'newDemoHome' pathAlias.

As per my observation, the content for  "newDemoHome" is rendered properly
(as expected) but the URL of the page (in browser) doesn't change. IMO, we
should also update the URL also, i.e. change browser URL from

https://localhost:8443/cmssite/cms/demoHome to
https://localhost:8443/cmssite/cms/newDemoHome

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

This is the case of redirection, like if you updated URL of your page/blog,
It should redirect to a new URL with response status moved temporarily or
moved permanently

Please feel free to open jira ticker for the same.
