HttpHandler

Joe

Is it possible to return a page in the ProcessRequest method?
For example if someone enters www.mydomain.com/user/joe I want to return a
page user.aspx?user=joe but I don't want the URL to show in the browser. I
tried context.Server.Transfer but it always returns an error.
context.Request.Redirect works but then the URL changes.

Any ideas?

Thnaks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

As George has mentioend, what you want to do is called "Url Rewriting" in
web application.

In ASP.NET, you can use a custom httpmodule to perform such URL rewriting
task. For example, in the "Begin_Request" event, you can parse the original
url and redirect the request to the actual url/page. Here are some web
articles introduced some of these means:

Hope this helps.

Sorry for the late reply. I ended up using the Application_BeginRequest to
re-write the URL.

Thanks,
Joe
