URLS and Redirecting

All,

I have a url xyz.com where there is a form to be submitted to xyz.com/test.aspx

Everything works great!

However we also had to create another url subdomain.xyz.com that also points to that page xyz.com.

Upon form submit, we get a page not found because the code is looking for xyz.com and not subdomain.xyz.com.

How do we fix?

Thanks

You must submit to the absolute URL i.e. http://subdomain.xyz.com/test.aspx as browsers treat subdomains as completely unrelated websites.

I think that's what you were getting at - let me know if I've misunderstood.

What you are suggesting is the very thing that gives us the error because there is no pges on that subdomain. It is just a DNS entry pointing to xyz.com.

Ah right gotcha!

Why the need for the subdomain if you don't mind me asking?

client request

I use the RewritePath method in the Application_BeginRequest method of a global.asax file to do URL rewriting e.g. form posted to /home.aspx actually is executed by the page /html/home.aspx - still shows /home.aspx in address bar. But I've never tried this on different subdomains.

You could try adding this global.asax file to the root of subdomain.xyz.com.

Code:

---

void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender , EventArgs e)
{
        Context.RewritePath( "http://www.xyz.com" + Request.Path );
}

I have a feeling this only works on the same subdomain I'm afraid.

The other option is looking into installing a ISAPI filter on the subdomain such as OpUrl - this intercepts the request at an earlier point and should work. You can download a 14 day trial to test.

thanks for the suggestion but what we did was simply hardcode the thank you page url in the form submit. It works for now.
