widgets.com/.. redirect to www.widgets.com/..

Auto redirect, I have seen this somewhere...on Windows

[adfree]

My server runs W2k3, I'd like to auto redirect the non www. version of any request to the www. version for all sites.

How to? Can I use my IIS Rewrite for this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I think you can use IIS Rwrite for that, you can also probably do it by setting up hostheader information in the IIS manager.

The IIS manager will control which default page to show regardless of which header people input:

www.widget.com
widget.com
www.bluewidget.com
etc.
can all display the same default page if you set it up that way in the IIS properties.

Try looking for info on 301 Moved Permanently HTTP headers, both in this forum and others. You might find that of interst.
