Question

I have a need to use extensionless URLs. I do not have access to IIS (6.0) so I cannot map requests to ASP.NET and handle with a HttpHandler/HttpModule. However, I can set a custom 404 page via web host control panel.

My current plan is to perform necessary logic in the custom 404 page, but it "feels wrong". Are there any recommendations that I am missing?

Edited: Added "Without IIS Access" to the title since someone thought this was a repeat question.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Without access to IIS, that would be your only option.

OTHER TIPS

The 404 page really is your only option if you can't map the requests. I've seen several blog packages that do this to enable magic URLs like .../archive/YYYY/MM/DD and such - there's no such page, so it hits the 404 page and the 404 page does the redirection.
