SEO friendly URLs with Delphi ISAPI

Question

Hi

My customer wants me to get rid of the dll and ? & characters in the url and use SEO friendly urls.

How can I go about this URL - rewrite?

Currently I have something like:

http://www.ultimateholidayplanner.com/uhp.dll/AccList?PN=AccommodationSearch.htm

That needs to turn into something like:

http://www.ultimateholidayplanner.com/Accommodation/List.htm

Many thanks

Use II7 and download Microsoft URL rewrite module to change this behavior.

Answer 2

You don't need to change your code, you need just to use something like ISAPI_Rewrite

Answer 3

ISAPI extensions can be mapped to the extension ".*" creating a wildcard extension mapping, and so catching any and every request to the site/virtual-dir. (especially with 'check that file exists' unselected)
