Server.TransferRequest()

[Matt Winward]

Hi all.

On requests for a parent web application, and when certain conditions
match, I need to load pages from a child web application. I've been
playing around with various methods, including RewritePath and
Server.Transfer, but these each have problems of their own.

Reading up on TransferRequest, this seems like the ideal solution
where the request is sent back through the IIS pipeline and the user
will see the results from the sub application, but the URL will remain
unchanged .. perfect.

The problem is that when I try this, the URL *does* get changed. I may
as well have just done a Response.Redirect! Obviously I'm doing
something wrong. Anyone know what it might be??
Thanks,

Matt

I've just put together a very simple test solution with the following
files:

Default.aspx
Test.aspx
MyModule.cs

I've added MyModule to the Web.Config and made it TransferRequest to
Test.aspx.

This works perfectly and loads the content of Test.aspx under the
guise of Default.aspx. I'm not sure why this works and my main
solution doesn't, but I'll keep looking into it; I'm sure it will turn
out to be something stupidly simple!

I would recommend using HttpContext.RewritePath
I am successfully using it.
so if you have unresolved problems let us know and we'll help you to solve
them
