301 Redirect for URLs with Variables

Question

I am doing 301 redirects for old URLs in a situation where I can't use Web.Config at all, so there's no rewrite module capability. So I have been using this simple code on individual files:

<%@Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader ( "Location","newurl.html" )
%>

My problem is that there is one page (index.asp) where variables are passed in through the URL like this:

domain.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=71 domain.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=72

I want to set up conditional 301 redirects so that when the URL is ProdID=71 it 301s to one specific page, and when the URL is ProdID=72, it 301s to a different page.

So far I have this simple code:

<%
DIM strPageAction
strPageAction = Request.QueryString("PageAction")

DIM strProdID
strProdID = Request.QueryString("ProdID")
%>

<%
IF strPageAction = "VIEWPROD" AND strProdID = "71" THEN
ELSE
END IF
%>

<%
IF strPageAction = "VIEWPROD" AND strProdID = "72" THEN
ELSE
END IF
%>        

Does anyone know how I could get a 301 redirect in there for the "THEN" condition? I am very new to this, so perhaps I am missing an easy solution...

"Response.Redirect" works but gives a 302 instead of a 301. The new option of "Response.RedirectPermanent" doesn't work on my hosting.

Answer 1

Well, I found some code that did the job:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"

if Request.QueryString("PageAction") = "VIEWPROD" and Request.QueryString("ProdID") = "71" then
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.foxnews.com" 

else if Request.QueryString("PageAction") = "VIEWPROD" and Request.QueryString("ProdID") = "72" then
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.apple.com"

end if
end if
