Hi,
I would like to begin to appologise on how vauge the information will be in
this post. Maybe 6 months ago I was working on some UrlRewrite code for ASP
1.x and was reading up on the subject. Now I'm not quite sure exactly what
I'm looking for here, but I know I came across some information showing how
something certain (vauge, ey? hehe) could be done correctly using ASP.NET
since it then had a method wrapper for some call in IIS. I think it had to
do with wildcard mapping and IIS, more specifically with urls without a
filename like
http://www.test.com/somefolder/
In ASP.NET 1.x you have to resort to all kinda of trick (i.e create the
folder structure and place a default.aspx file in it) so you wouldn't get in
trouble, but I think this article mentioned that in ASP.NET they'd wrapped
some method in IIS which told it "no worries I've handles this even though
you don't think the file exists" (no it's not the "ensure file exists"
setting in the IIS extension settings). It was either some property you
needed to set or a method you'd call.
I know it's really vauge, but if ANYONE think this sound familiar, or know
the call I'm talking about - please let me know. I've googled for hours
using all combinations of words I can comeup with but I've been unable to
find my way back (and I lost the link, go figure).
Thanks!
