One other thing you might be interested in...I didn't like the fact that urls thought the root was the rewritten url...to solve this is quite easy in javascript.

If you're using asp.net ajax its as simply as doing this in the client pageLoad function

for(var i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++) {

document.links.href = document.links.href.replace(/regex/, "");

}

Now all my hyperlinks point to my application root!

I noticed you still need the actionform from scottgu's blog to make sure the action retains the rewritten url.

Now I've got a complete urlrewritting setup!

Nice!

I have devised a solution for your issue.

Use regular expessions in the Global.asax Application_BeginRequest to Rewrite any urls that come though to point to the root. I'm still testing it out, but thought you might be interested.

One caveat I found was with rewriting the paths of webservices. I eventually found a solution here: forums.asp.net/.../1113541.aspx. Essentially you just treat the context.RewritePath differently for webservices based on the code found at that url.

The good side of this is not my AJAX Update Panels work with some url rewritting logic. Before I was using urlrewrittingnet and was getting errors in any postback ussued within an update panel.

Thanks for writing the article to ge me started!
