Then in that case you would redirect to that URL instead of forwarding to it. But if you do that, the user can bookmark that URL and go directly to it at some time in the future. This is a feature, not a bug, so if it doesn't make sense for the user to go directly to that URL then you shouldn't expose it to the user in the way you are proposing.
