.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / May 2008How to hide the real file name in the URL?
I see u guys talking about url rewriting, and then I came across www.actioncarting.com, where no page seem to have an extension like .aspx, .html, .shtml, .asp, .jsp, .php. Is this trick so-called URL rewriting? I would like to learn this little trick. Thank you. > I see you guys talking about URL rewriting, and then I came across > www.actioncarting.com, where no page seem to have an extension > like .aspx, .html, .shtml, .asp, .jsp, .php.

This way, ASP.NET / IIS will search for a "default" document and use one if it exists: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GZEZ_ en-GBGB252GB252&q=IIS+default+document  SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net > > I see you guys talking about URL rewriting, and then I came across > > www.actioncarting.com, where no page seem to have an extension [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > ASP.NET MVP > http://www.markrae.net Thank you. I also thought that they are simply letting the web server retrieve the pre-defined default file. But, then only one file per folder will be retrieved. Isn't that too troublesome? BTW, how do u tell it is not URL rewriting? Thanks again. > Thank you. I also thought that they are simply letting the web server > retrieve the pre-defined default file.

Hello gnewsgroup, if you look on their site stucture, u will see that they have the different url for each page, which could means that all pages are just index.aspx or default.aspx . Actually I checked into Fiddler and it's php pages. so, if u type /index.php in the end of url in will open you the same page, but not the index2.php --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev [.NET/C# MVP] :: blog: http://spaces.live.com/laflour "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it" (c) Michelangelo g> Mark Rae [MVP] wrote: g> >> ... >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> ASP.NET MVP >> http://www.markrae.net g> Thank you.
