Hi Rob,

I emailed you several times a few years ago concerning S+. I think my old username was 'fug'. I still use S+ regularly on every PC.

I have a completely OT question. I see you're using snitz forums for this site, which is written in classic ASP. How are you getting it to work with SEO friendly URLs? IOW, how/where are you handling the rewrite rules?

Thanks,
Rob

Hiya fug!

I just installed the URL Rewrite IIS extension and defined the rewrite rules. Then I did a search through all of the Snitz ASP pages for ".asp" and updated its link generation code points accordingly. Here's the rewrite config section (from web.config) for the site for reference.


        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <clear />
                <rule name="CanonicalHostNameRule1">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.strokesplus\.com$" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.strokesplus.com/{R:1}" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="LowerCaseRule1" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{URL}}" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="RemoveTrailingSlashRule1" enabled="false" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)/$" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" />
                </rule>

Hey, man! Thanks! I have URLRewrite installed already. I'll look through what you posted above and figure it out. I didn't realize URLRewrite would work with classic ASP. I really don't know why... I have it working for a couple of PHP sites running on IIS8, so it should work for ASP as well.

Thanks again!

Rob
