How to implement 301 redirect on an IIS (ASP) site

301 redirect needed for an IIS-based site

[websage]

Hello, a new client has default.asp which redirect automatically to a shopping card-driven content area like this:

<% link="http://www.website.com/shop/mydefault.asp" %>
<% response.Redirect(link) %>

Is this SE-friendly way to redirect? If not, how does one implement an ASP version of 301 Redirect for the default page?

Thanks in advance,

Mitko / WebSage

<%
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.newdomain.com/"
Response.End
%>

Thanks! I take it, this is the way to do it for both classic ASP and ASP.NET?

Is that a good idea to remove all lines in the old files and put only those 4 lines?

It's worth putting some content on the page with a <a> tag referring to the new url, too. Some people have auto redirects turned off in their browser, and you want them to be able to get to the new page, too.
