    Posted: 22-December-2009 at 11:12pm
What would be the best way to redirect this asp page:
http://www.avalanche-ranch.com/rusticlighting/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=3

to this page

http://www.avalanche-ranch.com/rusticlighting/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=4

I want to use a 301 redirect.  I have looked online for this.  I don't see a solution.  Perhaps the isapi rewrite?  Looks pretty complicated.  I have just stopped using that category...

Thanks

That's simple Curt.  Just place a bit of code in your header.asp
 
Here is the code that allows you to grab the current page name.
 
Here is the code for an ASP 301 redirect.
 
You need to wrap the 301 redirect with an IF statement that tests for which page you are on.  When you find that you are on the page you want to redirect from, pull the trigger and blast it.

Afraid it's not working for me :(

I tried adding this at the top of the  page:

Dim CatNumber
CatNumber= lcase(Request.ServerVariables("Query_String"))
if CatNumber="idcategory=224" then
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.Redirect "/shop/pc/TheOtherPage.asp"
Response.End()
else
if CatNumber="idcategory=11" then
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.Redirect "/shop/pc/OtherPage2.asp"
Response.End()
end if
end if


While the Re-Direct goes fine, the headr status is not returning 301, but 302!
Any suggestions?

Never mind... Figured it out... Should have used:
Response.AddHeader "Location", "/shop/pc/OtherPage.asp" instead of the Respnse.Redirect

Time for more coffee!! Embarrassed

You might be able to find the category by simply doing:

<% if pIdCategory="number you want" then %>

Since viewcategories.asp is already populating that variable

Thanks for that tip Brett!  Will try this out today and when it works (asuming it does), it will keep the coding a little cleaner
Thanks!

Paul, on another note, you should make it a general practice to sanitize your reference to querystring values.  Whether the resulting value is sent to a query or not, use the "getuserinput" function.  Were you to not do so when sending a  querystring value to a query, you would create a security hold that could be deadly.
 
 
In your example above, the following statement would cause you massive grief "catnumber" was sent to a query and a hacker discovered it.
 
CatNumber= lcase(Request.ServerVariables("Query_String"))

Thanks for that tip Greg...
However, as I am not a programming guru, I'm not sure how to implement this in my situation.

I have quickly tried:
Dim idCategory
idCategory = getUserInput(Request("id"),5)
if idCategory="224" then
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "/shop/pc/TheOtherPage.asp"
Response.End()
end if


but this does not work. It simply goes to the "msg.asp?message=86" page (not a valid category), not resulting in the redirect I want and not returning the 301 header status.

Did I miss something?

Never mind Greg, I found the issue.
On the Wiki page you gave me, you have the line:
Dim idCategory
idCategory = getUserInput(Request("id"),5)


But it should actually be:
Dim idCategory

idCategory = getUserInput(Request("idCategory "),5)


When I changed it this way, working great, so I assume that this is the best way to go?
Thanks for pointing it out Greg, 'you tha man'! Wink

That's what I had in mind.  You DO NOT want to wake up one day and receive reports that the store has been attacked.  Concientious use of proper protection methods is absolutely critical.
