Custom 404 and URL

How to keep an URL in the Address bar after redirection

[freitasm]

Hello...

I have a custom 404.asp that scans an invalid URL and following some rules issues the following:

---
response.addheader "Location", session("serverpath") & "/blog.asp?blogid=" & blogid & "&postid=" & postid
response.end
---

So, if someone enters [[mydomain]...] it will lookup in the SQL database, find that user "freitasm" has a blog id "123" and redirect to the proper script as [[mydomain]...]

This way I can host multiple "blogs" for my users.

All works fine, however, when the page is loaded the browser shows the new redirected URL (blog.asp?blogid=123&postid=503) instead of the one originally entered (freitasm/503)

Is there any way to instruct the browser, during this redirection, to keep the original URL entered in the address bar instead of showing the new one?

Cheers

Hi,

You might want to give a look into URL rewriting using regular expression. That way you can have multiple urls pointing to the same page.

A search into these forums on url rewriting should give you a good starting point.
