Rewrite URL this way, is it possible?

[Iaml]

We have a lot of legacy pages written in HTML or classic ASP. A lot
of our web users bookmarked these pages.

Now we will rewrite these HTML or classic ASP pages in ASP.NET 2.0 or
3.5.

I am using URLRewritingNet (http://www.urlrewriting.net/en/
Default.aspx) to redirect all requests in the format of *.htm, *.html
or *.asp to my asp.net pages. This is completely configured in
web.config.

This works great. But, we would also like to change the URL in the
browser's address bar from somepage.htm to somepage.aspx.

IMPORTANT: We are not allowed to explicitly do Response.Redirect.

Is there a way to do this? Please share your insights about this
issue. Thanks.

Thank you. I have read Scott's blog on that topic. Actually, I got
to know about URLRewritingNet from his blog.

Anyone else would like to give me a little hint?

A javascript re-direct, other than that it's impossible.

To change the URL in the browser you want to send a redirect, if you
send a 301 HTTP Code ("Moved Permenantly") then search engines etc can
update their links to follow the new version.

Looking at the docs for UrlRewritingNet it looks like this is
supported, something like:
<urlrewritingnet>
<rewrites ... redirect="Application" redirectMode="Permanent" ... >
....
</rewrites>
</urlrewritingnet>
