I am using ASP.NET 2.0 on IIS6 therefore I can’t use system.web.routing. I’ve tried a few URL rewriters but none did what I wanted.

I basically need to transform (read/parse then redirect) URL 1 into 2 with minimum IIS configuration because I don’t have the full authority to reconfigure web servers (i.e. ISAP on IIS6 or install 3rd party extensions/libraries). And I can’t transform URL into 3 because all the physical links will break.

  1. http://www.url.com/abc123
  2. http://www.url.com/default.aspx?code=abc123
  3. http://www.url.com/abc123/default.aspx?code=abc123

Thank you!

    Create 404 error handler, e.g. 404.aspx. In that page, parse request URL and extract code using Request.Path. Then, redirect to default.aspx?code=abc123.

    You should be able to set 404 (page not found) handler to 404.aspx for your website, most hosting providers allow that.
