I am wanting to map part of a URL to an ID in my data base.

For example:

http://mysite.com/path1

http://mysite.com/path2

path1 maps to an ID in a database
path2 maps to an ID in a database

I have been told that I can use HTTPMODULES to parse the URL to extract the path1 part of the URL, perform a lookup and then redirect to a base page that will access the values.

Has anybody ever attempted this or seen information on this?

I have now solved this issue.

I now have all paths mapping to my handler!!!!

All I need to do now, is tell the app how to handle static files!

hurrah!

standardly only certain extenstions are supported in them..."

Word. I figured as much, but I just wanted to clarify.

...

Way to go, RicksAtWork!

Yep - wrote my own staticfilehandler.

Works very well.

I have 2 handlers. One that handles paths without extensions i.e.

http://www.mysite.com/mypath1

and the other handles paths such as

http://www.mysite.com/mypath1.css

Requests for ASP.NET specific pages/services pass straight through to the runtime.
