Please check out the links posted here. Both describe how to do it. The security concerns restrict you from setting it to another url, but you can alter the path with the history API. — chucktator, May 25 '12 at 14:22
@chucktator the best he could do is from his examplee is `www.example.com/index.html/page2.html` — JaredMcAteer, May 25 '12 at 14:24
@JaredMcAteer Within your own domain you are allowed to change the path and filename portion of the url to anything you want. Facebook does it, Google does it and I've tried it out myself as well. — chucktator, May 25 '12 at 14:25

Can't be done. This is a security feature to make it harder to spoof a site (e.g. for phishing attacks)

The domain can't be changed. The rest of the URL can. Thus no possibility of spoofing. – chucktator May 25 '12 at 16:45
Quite right, my mistake. – Grezzo May 25 '12 at 20:41

I'm not sure if you can do this without using a redirect.

Here's a way to achieve your goal though.

Create page for www.example.com/index/page2.html that contains of a frame of www.example.com/index.html

In www.example.com/index.html redirect the user to www.example.com/index/page2.html if the www.example.com/index.html isn't inside a frame.
