asp.net domain alias.. redirectors

[Maziar Aflatoun]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to do the following in IIS using ASP.NET.

For example to setup aliases user1, user2, and user3

http://www.mydomain.com/user1
http://www.mydomain.com/user2
http://www.mydomain.com/user3

all calling http://www.mydomain.com/default.aspx

and extracting the user1..3 within default.aspx page?

Thank you
Maziar A.

sure, what you would need to do is rewrite the incoming url from your
application_beginRequest handerl in the global asax file
Here is a how you do it
void Application_beging blah blah blah
{

//set a pointer to current
HttpContext incoming = HttpContext.Current;
string oldpath = incoming.Request.Path.ToLower ();

//add your code in here to switch http://www.mydomain.com/default.aspx

//to whatever you want
//when done call this

context.RewritePath (newpath);

}

You would kneed to know how to differentiate the urls, so i suggest you use
a querystring param to do so.

regards
