Answer 1

This link may be of use

EDIT: The link above is actually confusing as I don't think it solves the problem at hand.

These two links this One requires some coding, this One requires some IIS Setup

Answer 2

You can write ISAPI filter and change the URI as you like. There are, of course, ready commercial and free ones

Answer 3

You may change the link on page to say ww.mysite.com/test/myapp/testfunction and use the following config with ISAPI_Rewrite 3:

RewriteBase/

RewriteRule ^test/myapp/testfunction$ /test/myapp.dll/testfunction [NC,L]

Answer 4

In IIRF, a free URL rewriter for IIS5/6/7, you can do this:

RewriteRule  ^/test/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$  /test/$1.dll/$2   [I,L]

This rule has wild-card matching on the DLL name and function.

Lots more possibilities, too.
