I'm working on a project that will have user pages (you'll never guess that
its a social networking site ;-)
I'd like to map http://www.thehost.com/johndoe to
http://www.thehost.com/userpage.aspx?Id=2223
I know I can do this from IIS but it needs to be on the fly and handle an
arbitrary number of users. In the old days I'd use an ISAPI dll but there
must be a better tool now -- whats the right .net tool for this?
thanks,
johnThat's gonna be messy with IIS6. In IIS7 it's a piece of cake as for IIS6 i'd
suggest using this URL scheme:
thehost.com/johndoe.aspx - when using .aspx at the end you're able to dig
into it via (e.g.) global.asax in ASP.NET. If you want to use dynamic
folders, you'd have to missuse 404 Pages to make this work with IIS6, it's
not worth the effort.
Excellent post on URL Rewriting:

'go look up the URL and do a redirect to the appropriate page
End If
another way is to add the http 404 handler in web.config, and in the
processing page, u get URL Referrer.
URL Referrer doesn't work in some ways, but in my experience, with
hostname.com/username, it works everytime

Thanks! I'm guessing that you have to use either relative paths (./) or
complete (http://) paths for images, stylesheets etc.?
