I want to be able to handle any url that s requested via some controller.

foo.com/abcd
foo.com/x1

for foo.com/a

I want to process it with

UrlHandlerController with Process(string url) method.

How should i add a routing rule to be able to do this?

Any ideas?

Create a new custom route and use Phill Haack’s Route Debugger to test your routes:

routes.MapRoute(
    "customroute",
    "{url}", 
    new { controller = "UrlHandler",
        action = "Process",
        url = ""
    }
);

Controller:

public class UrlHandlerController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Process(string url)
    {
        return View();

        /* or */
        if(url == "something"){
            return View("SomethingView");
        }
        else if(url == "somethingelse"){
            return View("SomethingElseView");
        }
    }

}
