Looking around the internet I’ve seen that many people have been trying to implement URL rewriting in a MOSS environment. Ive implemented url redirecting with MOSS using the HTTP module route for a while now and I’ve documented the code I used and what parameters worked the best for me here;

Take a look and let me know if this helps you and if you have any questions.

After messing around for a little bit it, I came up with a good way to do it. When I was looking for examples on the web there were a lot of people saying that it couldn’t be done. But in the end it actually didn’t take much to implement it. Here’s an HttpModule that I wrote to do the work.

The key pieces are the this.app.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(app_BeginRequest) which steps in front of the request and allows the module to get its redirect on. And HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(redirect, false); will push the necessary headers n such forward so that the receiving .aspx page will understand how to correctly post back.

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Caching;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Threading;
using System.IO;
using System.Security;
using System.Security.Principal;

//if you do a HttpContext.Current.RewritePath without the 'false' parameter,
//the receiving sharepoint page will not handle post backs correctly
//this is extremely useful in situations where users/admins will be doing a
//'site actions' event
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(redirect, false);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//rubbish
}
}
}
}
