Question

It has come to my attention that http://www.example.com/Home/About is considered completely different from http://www.example.com/homE/abouT, yet they are the same page and both have header response of 200.

These URL’s should either be all lower or upper case and any variation should return a 301 and redirect to the all lower or upper case URL.

This may be ok with an “AboutUs” page but if you are per say a large store front with a large number of products this could kill any ranking you have or may attain in the future.

Wish MVC/ASP.NET can some kind of option to set strict URL’s in the routing engine.

Answer 1

So rewrite your URLs to be all lower case.

<rule name="Convert to lower case" stopProcessing="true">  
    <match url=".*[A-Z].*" ignoreCase="false" />  
    <action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{R:0}}" redirectType="Permanent" />  
</rule>  

Problem solved!
