preferred URL

shank · Dec 10, 2003

On our website www.mydomain.com we have extra domain names parked.
Assume you enter the site with www.extradomain.com

I redirect with the following code:
<%
sname = UCASE(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))
If InStr(sname,"EXTRADOMAIN") <> 0 then
response.redirect "mypage.asp"
End If
%>

It redirects to the proper page, but the URL in the browser address bar
reverts to:
http://www.mydomain.com/fld/fld2.asp

Technically, this is correct.
However, is there a way for me to force the address bar to stay:
www.extradomain.com ?
(personal preference)

thanks!

If you're really redirecting just to page.asp, as opposed to a fully
qualified URL, the domain name should not change. What does your redirect
really say?

Without posting my real domain, this is teh actual redirect code on
default.asp

<%
sname = UCASE(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))
If InStr(sname,"EXTRADOMAIN") <0 then
response.redirect "http://www.mydomain.com/fld/fld2/"
End If
%>
Is it possible to have the URL as: http://www.extradomain.com/fld/fld2/
thanks!

Yes, don't include the domain!

As an alternative, how about using host headers for your site to
accept these domains, then simply loading the appropriate page based
on the header? You'll need to forego any links referencing the
domain, which may or may not be easy depending on how you designed the
site.

You can also create the default page on the fly and eliminate the redirect.

<%
dim sname
sname = UCASE(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))
If InStr(sname,"EXTRADOMAIN") <> 0 then
domain1
else
domain2
end if

sub Prt(strText)
Response.Write(strText) & vbCrLf
end sub

sub domain1()
Prt("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"">")
Prt("<html>")
Prt("<head>")
....
end sub

sub domain2()
....
end sub
%>
