URL Cloaking

Alright, here's the scenario. I run this business niche blog, and I plan to sell products on the blog. The purchasing button is an encrypted button customized in PayPal merchant section.

After a successful payment, PayPal will redirect the user to wwww.domain.com/downloadfolder/software/index.html for them to be able to direct download it.

I need to mask this, so the URL shows up as www.domain.com but still directs to the page of the item to be downloaded.

Is this possible, and does anyone know how to do it if it is?

Impossible, but there are ways that allow you to only let people download who have sent you the funds (if you're worried about content thief's).

Well I do have hotlink protection turned on, so they can't insert the url to the zip in the browser and download it direct request like.

However, that still leaves the url to the after-payment page that people CAN directly access.
