ASP URL question

[rico14d]

Hi,

Can someone explain what exactly the following url is doing.
Ive not seen this syntax before and am unsure of it.

http://www.test.com/index.asp/page=test2/test3.htm

Thanks,
Rich

P.S.
I dont actually mean the website test.com! Just the syntax of the url, ive replaced the real url with meaningless stuff.

just a parameter being sent using a URL Rewrite method by the look of it.

I thought that, but if I add a / after .asp i get a page cannot be found error.

i.e.
my page is test.asp
ive tried test.asp/test=1

This results in a 404 error being displayed.

Are you trying to accomplish this?

http://www.test.com/index.asp?page=test2/test3.htm

You might have to escape the URL parameter because of the slash, I didn't try it.

Here's the link from a website using this technique, ive replaced the data with X,Y,Z for privacy.

http://www.X.com/index.asp/page=Y/Z.htm

Im not actually using this, i just wanted to know what it was doing and how it was working.

Is it possible that index.asp and Page=Y are the names of folders?

without seeing the actual url it's impossible to say
