Redirect url from non standard port to standard port

I've done a little searching, but haven't found something that will do what
I'd like, or even know if I can do what I'd like.

I have been running IIS 6 on port 8080, users have been accessing the site
without any problems. I would like to run the server on the standard port 80
now. The problem I have is that there are links out to the site with the
port 8080 as part of the address/link. What I would like to do is have IIS
or another app intercept the url, strip the port 8080 info, and spit back the
url. For example, the user enters the following url:
http://www.mywebsite.com:8080/directory/file.htm

IIS or whatever strips the :8080, and spits back the following page/url to
the user
http://www.mywebsite.com/directory/file.htm

Any suggestions or recommendations on how I might go about doing this?

Thanks in advance
Josh

Hi,

My understanding of your question is that you want to show the new URL to
the user so they start using that URL instead. You can do this in IIS by
setting up a redirection.

Create two websites, one for port 80 and one for 8080. For the 8080 website,
set up a redirection with the following steps:

- In IIS Manager, right click the website and click Properties.
- Click on the Home Directory tab
- Select "A redirection to a URL" and in the "Redirect to" textbox write:
http://www.newdomain.com$V$Q
- Check the boxes "The exact URL entered above" and "A permanent redirection
for this resource"

More information can be found in the following article, see section
"Redirect from the old domain name to the new domain name":

Hope this helps.
