Filter to Redirect URL Address

Filter to Redirect URL Address

Hi,

I have a requirement to detect this kind of request :
http://rootsite/XYZ/aaa/bbb/c.xls

and replace it with
http://rootsite/JKL/aaa/bbb/c.xls

so i need to detect a part of the url and change it into something else.

Can this be accomplished using ISAPI filters?
If yes, how would I start?

thanks'

You can do most anything with ISAPI Filters, but it is not easy. The
real question is do you NEED to do it with ISAPI Filters or can you
accomplish the same thing with something simpler.

Can you read the following blog entry and identify exactly what you
are trying to do, not how you think it should be done? Perhaps you
don't even need to deal with ISAPI Filter at all.

Hi David,

thanks' for the article. it's a good read.
I managed to solve my requirement w/o ISAPI filters, an HttpHandler turns 
out to be sufficient for my needs.

thanks'

Re: Filter to Redirect URL Address

You can USE an existing filter to do what you want - 
try www.codeplex.com/IIRF. 

(I know this is an old article, and I am starting to sound like a broken 
record. I know. )
