mod_rewrite

[beachboy]

Do dotnet have a module as apache's mod_rewrite??
if yes, will server performance downgrade??

Thanks in advanced.

No, but it has the infrastructure to do it. It's called "URL Rewriting".
You can find some example code easily by searching on "ASP.NET" "URL
Rewriting".
What exactly is it that you need to do?

If you rewrite the URL, surely you'll lose the uniqueness unless you're
very careful.

One alternative would be to make your app use shorter URLs by encoding
the GUID in a different way. You can cut down the space taken by using
Base64 encoding, and knocking off the trailing "==" (which you can put
back yourself very easily). You'd end up going down from 36 characters
to 22, assuming you're using Guid.ToString() (effectively).

Call Convert.ToBase64String (guid.ToByteArray()) and then trim the last
two characters. On the reverse side, add the "==" back on the end, call
Convert.FromBase64String, and then call new Guid (bytes).
