Asp – Custom URL Extensions/Routing Without IIS Access

Here is an example of a Web.Config using UrlRewritingNet. Doing this will allow you to do extensionless Rewriting without having to write any HttpModule or anything like that.

(full article here)

Note: this requires IIS7 as it is using the system.webServer section of the web.config.

<configSections>  
    <section name="urlrewritingnet"    
             restartOnExternalChanges="true"    
             requirePermission="false"    
             type="UrlRewritingNet.Configuration.UrlRewriteSection,  UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter" />  
</configSections>  

<system.webServer>  
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">   
        <add name="UrlRewriteModule" type="UrlRewritingNet.Web.UrlRewriteModule, UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter" />  
    </modules>  
</system.webServer>  


<urlrewritingnet rewriteOnlyVirtualUrls="true"    
                 contextItemsPrefix="QueryString"    
                 xmlns="http://www.urlrewriting.net/schemas/config/2006/07">   
    <rewrites>  
        <!--Enable HTM(L) Extensions-->  
        <add name="pageHTML"    
             virtualUrl="^~/(.+).htm(.*)"    
             redirectMode="Permanent"  
             rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"    
             destinationUrl="~/$1.aspx"    
             ignoreCase="true" />  
        <!--Fix the WebResource JS Error-->  
        <add name="WebResourceFix"    
             virtualUrl="^~/WebResource.axd(.*)"  
             rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"    
             destinationUrl="~/WebResource.axd$1"    
             ignoreCase="true"/>   
        <!--Fix the ScriptResource JS Error-->  
        <add name="ScriptResource"    
             virtualUrl="^~/ScriptResource.axd(.*)"  
             rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"    
             destinationUrl="~/ScriptResource.axd$1"    
             ignoreCase="true"/>   
        <!--Allow Extensionless Page Extensions-->  
        <add name="pageExtensionless"  
             virtualUrl="^~/(.+)$"  
             redirectMode="Permanent"  
             rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"  
             destinationUrl="~/$1.aspx"  
             ignoreCase="true" />  
    </rewrites>  
</urlrewritingnet>  

Actually you are only one step far from the success. Adding following section to your Local website(or virtual directory) web.config file:

<configuration>
...
<system.web>
    <compilation>
        <buildProviders>
            <add extension=".asp" type="System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider"/>
        </buildProviders>
    </compilation>
    <httpHandlers>
        <add path="*.asp" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" validate="true"/>
    </httpHandlers>
</system.web>
