redirect from URL

Hi Everyone,
I am wanting to create a redirector on my server so that if I type in
something like 'mysite.com/redirect/target' it would look into my database
and see entry for 'target' and forward to that url.

How do I do this? I put a default.asp file in my redirect url, however,
trying to hit redirect/target tries process that url rather than read the
default.asp and the first off to my target.

One way to do this would be to put redirect?target but from a mailshot this
isn't very nice.

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Many thx
Stuart

Custom 404 handler in your /redirect folder.

Thx Dave, I have tried this, however, the default 404 asp page doesn't seem
to process the page as expected, it ignores all ASP code.

Is there a setting I need to alter in IIS or set in the file perhaps?

Thx

Are you following the guidelines here?

Note that those instructions are for the web root, but you can likewise
customize any folder or application under the root.

Hi there I have a program written by another company (it's a "web control" which returns a web-page: can I compare this to a servlet in the Java world?), which they think is causing problems on their server. But no-one really knows if this program is at fault because the problem only exhibits itself every once and a while, and the only thing they can see is that their web-users suddenly stop receiving responses.

I have some issues with HTTP Headers and I was hoping for some pointers or references to good articles. Here is the problem. I have 6 .aspx pages, each page contains a common .ascx. This ascx serves two purposes, 1. it contains a tab strip with response.redirects to navigate to the other pages; 2. I authenticate the user by check to see if a cookie exists, if it doesn't I redirect to a login screen.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
