  How to configure ISS 6 to allow redirection to url without extension due to url rewritting Reply Contact Hi,  I describe the kind of work I am currently doing : I am writing an asp.net module implementing IHttpModule interface to redirect urls exemple : to reach url http://MonSite/voiture/Ferrari360modena.aspx url entered by the end user is  http://MonSite/Ferrari/360modena.aspx What I want to achieve is to reach the same application by using this url instead http://MonSite/Ferrari/360modena  I have tried this option : IIS returns an erreur HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. Internet Information Services (IIS) So I have tried to configure IIS 6.0 by attenting to map (.*) extension to aspnet_isapi.dll. but unfortunately IIS doesnt tolerate this extension. Do you know a way around to sort it out ?  Thanks. Arioule

  Re: How to configure ISS 6 to allow redirection to url without extension due to url rewritting Reply Contact By far the easiest way to do this is to use a Linux/Apache server where file extensions aren't used to determine file handling. The other option is use a Wildcard mapping to the ASP.NET DLL.  You will need to stay away from files which do not get processed by the DLL, since they'll get process incorrectly.

  Re: How to configure ISS 6 to allow redirection to url without extension due to url rewritting Reply Contact Assuming you've got access to the IIS Manager for that website, create a virtual directory called "360modena" within the ferrari folder. Then configure the virtual folder to be a redirection to a url and specify the url as /voiture/ferrari/360modena.aspx. If you don't have access to the IIS Manager, you can create a folder called "360modena" below the ferrari folder. Then, in that folder, create a default.asp page that just calls Response.Redirect("/voiture/ferrari/360modena.aspx"). Richard.
