Trouble with QueryString

[Roshawn]

Hi,

I access a particular page by specifying the page's name and extension like so:

http://localhost:xxxx/MyFiles/Lucky/

The Lucky directory contains a webpage named Default.aspx. I can access is without needing to type in the page's name and
extension. This page uses a querystring and is only specified when needed (e.g. keywords=sam). My trouble is that if I
access the page without specifying the page's name and extension, somehow the querystring is given a value on its own.
Debugging reveals that the querystring contains the value of "default.aspx"

What could be causing this issue? I've been at this for a few hours now with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Roshawn

Roshawn,
Are you doing any URL rewriting or redirection? I've seen this
before when doing redirection and not filtering out the default page as a
possible value.

Hmm, you're absolutely right!

I am doing URL rewriting, using Regex of course. I discovered that one of my Regex rules was incorrect. That's what was
causing the trouble as I wasn't filtering out the default page.

Thanks for the help, :-)
