Intelligencia.UrlRewriter

Question

I'm using the Intelligencia UrlRewriter on a project.

It's working fine to rewrite urls typed into the browser.

For example, if I enter

http://localhost/People

This is being correctly rewritten as:

http://localhost/People.aspx

Now, the problem is, when I am in the code behind I need to access the Friendly URL, but Request.ServerVariables seems to only have the unfriendly URL available.

Does anyone know if there's anyway I can access this original, friendly Url in code? Or am I too late?

Answer 1

Got it guys.

@Nick Allen and Pure.Krome: Thanks for the help!!

I found the piece of data in:

HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl

If it exists in ServerVariables, I couldn't see it, but in conclusion, the data is there so I won't have to cry myself to sleep :)

Okay. Thanks again!!

Answer 2

Request.PathInfo
Request.QueryString

Which one you use depends on if you rewrite to default.aspx?myvar or default.aspx/myvar

Answer 3

I'm using it and have been for .. er .. 2 years now i think. (Thank gawd IIS7 and MVC are here ! )

anyways, can u check the IIS Server Variables for all of these and tell us what you get...

1. PATH_INFO
2. URL
3. SCRIPT_NAME

eg (this is a snippet of the PATH_INFO for a page i have set up which dumps ALL the request variables) :-

PATH_INFO: [/admin/Miscellaneous.aspx]

and to get it ..

Request.ServerVariables["PATH_INFO"]

Keep us posted.

The Intelligencia rewrite rules are stored in the web.config, which is parsable. So you could traverse the rules in the web.config to find a match and use the matched value from there

Obviously this would not work for pattern matching, just explicit rules such as the one in your example
