You can definitely do that by using URL rewrite:

http://www.iis.net/extensions/URLRewrite

See some examples at:

I'm not sure how Apache actually works.

I'm confused as to if you just don't want to see the path in the URL bar of the browser. If so then my previous point still stands. You can simply put the folder name in the address bar and the default document for that folder will be shown.

If you have some other usage scenario you might be able to map a handler in the web.config to satisfy your requirement.

Hello Rmmasson,

thanks for your feedback !

But what if I do not want to call any filename, simple a directory, as it is possible with apache.

Thanks for any additional help.

Fabianus

Hi Fabianus,

In the instance you mentioned you are seeing the default page in that directory. Probably "default.aspx" but it could be any file name depending on whats set up in IIS.

Hello Paul,

thanks a lot for your feedback !

What about url rewrite ? In order to automate the thing (and not setting each correspondance by hand). meaning that any http://www.myshop.com/firstlevel/secondlevel/..../xlevel will call http://www.myshop.com/default.aspx which will deal with the interpretation of the url and figure out the right place in the application ?

Hi,

Yes, you could create a virtual directory called 'products' and then configure 'products.aspx' to be the default document in that virtual directory. That way, any calls to the URL http://www.myshop.com/products would direct the user to your products.aspx page

Hello !

I would like to know if it is possible in IIS 7 to call a web application without putting a *.aspx in the url ?

like :

http://www.myshop.com/products

instead of

http://www.myshop.com/products.aspx

Thank you very much for any feedback !

Fabianus
