URL redirect

[igorsky]

Hello,

I have questing about redirect. My company ask me to make redirect for the corporate website from “Domain.com” to “www.domain.com”
I was able to do this with the code bellow.

Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) 
   ' Fires at the beginning of each request 
   Dim strRedirectToWWW As String 
   Dim bAdminURl As Boolean = False 

   strRedirectToWWW = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("RedirectToWWW") 

   'For testing set RedirectToWWW to false 
   If strRedirectToWWW.Trim.ToLower = "true" Then 

       Dim sOldPath As String = Request.Url.ToString.Trim.ToLower 
       Dim sNewPath As String = "" 

       If sOldPath.IndexOf("www.") = -1 Then 
       		sNewPath = sOldPath.Replace("Domain.com", "www.Domain.com") 

		Response.AddHeader("Location", sNewPath) 
		Response.RedirectLocation = sNewPath 
		Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently" 
		Response.StatusCode = 301 
		Response.Redirect(sNewPath) 
	End If	
    End If 

End Sub

Here is my question:
When I redirect website “http://Domain.com” to “http://www.Domain.com” the end result looks like this “http:// www.Domain.com/index.aspx”.
I there a way to remove “Index.apsx” form URL during redirect?
I want my end result from redirection look like this “http://www.Domain.com/”

Thank you.

P.S. I'm using .NET Framework 1.1

Well, to start with, you're redirecting wrong. Response.Redirect does a 302, so no matter what you put in the header, that line will make it a 302 rather than a 301 as you wanted. All you really need is

Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Resopnse.AddHeader("Location", sNewPath)

Second, what happens when you go to www.domain.com directly? If it appends the index.aspx then it'd an IIS configuration issue, wouldn't it?

Thank you for your response mendhak

You wore right Response.Redirect was doing 302 Temporary redirect.

When I implemented your code it worked like a charm.

However it’s still redirects to “http:// www.Domain.com/index.aspx”.

To answer your question:

Second, what happens when you go to www.domain.com directly?

When I go to www.domain.com this is the result I get “http://www.domain.com/”
