ASP -> ASPX re-directs at the server level, rather than in..

We are in the process of upgrading an older site, replacing ASP files with
ASPX, progressively.

For each completed page, we are leaving a redirection stub, so that
"Page1.asp?id=123" no longer has any content, simply:

response.redirect("page1.aspx?id=" & request.querystring("id"))

This works, and passes the one designated parameter along as well.

But it seems to me that there should be a simpler way, at the site level, to
provide a list of pages and their new name or "alias".

I've tried doing re-directs on a file-by-file basis, but I do not see how to
pass the query string along. This technique also seems to require a full URL,
and that causes trouble the development environment, unless I use Local Host
or 127.0.0.1. I cannot seem to just enter a relative URL, IIS 6 tells me "the
path is not a valid URL" if I only enter the file name.

(using VS2008 / .NET 3.5 / IIS 6.0 / Server 2003)

Hi,

Maybe RemapUrl from the IIS Resource Kit can do the job. You have to install
it on IIS and configure the mapping in an .ini file.
