.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2005Rewrite asp url as aspx url?
Hi group, I'm trying to create a temporary replacement scheme for a particular url that gets generated all over an existing app. It would be very difficult to find every spot where the url gets created. So I'm thinking of doing a url rewrite solution where i look for the url signature at the application (or higher?) level. The twist is that the original url is classic asp. So how do I grab this asp url from a .net httpmodule (or other thing) and redirect the request to an aspx page? Of course you can't map .asp files to aspnet_isapi.dll in IIS. Can this be done? Thanks for any ideas... Keep the original ASP page, and replace all of its code with a redirect to its ASPX counterpart. > Hi group, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thanks for any ideas... you can map anything and everything to aspnet_isapi.dll in IIS. we commonly map .htm .html and .asp to aspnet_isapi.dll and rewrite the url when the request hits our web app. > Hi group, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks for any ideas... if i set up a mapping of .asp file to aspnet_isapi, how do i handle the many cases where asp.dll needs to handle a request? i only want to rewrite certain .asp requests that match a signature i'm looking for, e.g., MyPage.asp?mode=5 would be mapped to MyNewPage.aspx, whereas MyPage.asp?mode=4 should be processed by asp.dll. Here's what happened: someone wrote a GIGANTIC asp page that handles all sorts of stuff based on a "mode." It posts to itself and takes different paths based on which mode its in, i.e., update, display, etc. To add to the devastation, the code in question runs inside of an iframe, so I can't Server.Transfer or Redirect in the asp code. thanks > you can map anything and everything to aspnet_isapi.dll in IIS. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > > > Thanks for any ideas... Nice. Looks like you have three options: 1. Modify the giant SWITCH statement in MyPage.asp to redirect as necessary. 2. Map .asp to aspnet_isapi and .asp2 to asp.dll. Build a webform with a giant SWITCH statement that redirects back to MyPage.asp2 as necessary. 3. write an ISAPI filter with a giant SWITCH statement to fix the incoming URLs before they make it to that page. At any point, you could replace that switch statement with a table lookup if you wanted to save yourself some grief and tedium. Good luck!
