I have a perfectly functioning URL rewriting to remove the file extension. But when I use response.redirect, the URL rewrite doesn’t take place. Oddly, this occurs only when the URL is using the full path, not relative. For example:

response.redirect("http://example.com/page")

gives me http://example.com/page.asp

whereas response.redirect("/page") is fine.

URL rewrite code:

<rule name="rewrite asp">
  <match url="(.*)" />
  <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" negate="true" pattern="(.*).asp" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.asp" />
</rule>

I need to use the full path because I’m going from one domain to another. Any ideas?

    You can maybe try something like this:

    /redirect?url=<%=Server.URLEncode("http://example.com/page.asp")%>

    then in redirect.asp:

    <%sSomeExternalURL = URLDecode(Request.QueryString("url"))%>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=<%=sSomeExternalURL%>">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

<%
Function URLDecode(str) 
    str = Replace(str, "+", " ") 
    For i = 1 To Len(str) 
        sT = Mid(str, i, 1) 
        If sT = "%" Then 
            If i+2 < Len(str) Then 
                sR = sR & _ 
                    Chr(CLng("&H" & Mid(str, i+1, 2))) 
                i = i+2 
            End If 
        Else 
            sR = sR & sT 
        End If 
    Next 
    URLDecode = sR 
End Function
%>
