All this redirecting still doesn't get me what I want.

I would like this second link to be what shows up on the top of the browser as the new url. -- but I would also like that page to be initialized with parameters I could express so far only with a closure.

I don't want to pass those parameters to the second link, because then they'll be visible.

So now I need to first save these initialization parameters somewhere (much like saving a closure) and modify the second link to check if there are any scheduled parameters to initialize itself with for a particular user. Some sort of defop-init.

(Am I missing something?)

Down the drain go closures when combined with redirection.

What a hack.

Why not just pass a session id/key to the second URL* and allow that new page to retrieve the data you don't want exposed?

*or use a hidden field on a form submit.

BTW the limitations you're hitting have nothing to do with Arc or Closures, but rather are just limitations of Browser/HTTP technology (which are by design).
