Hi,

Is there a way to let a request without filename come to http module?
For example, http://localhost/abc/def
where abc and def are not virtual directory, just random words.

Thanks
Jiong

Probably not as IIS still has issues when it comes to determining what is a
directory and what is not in a parsed URL.

HTH,

Hi Bill and Jiong,

If I understand correctly, the question is "Can IIS route requests with
arbitrary URLs - that may or may not exist on the file system - to my ISAPI
extension?"

The answer to this is "yes". You can write an ISAPI filter on
SF_NOTIFY_PREPROC_HEADERS to look at the incoming URLs and determine if they
are interesting to you. If they are, then you can rewrite the URL so that
it points to your ISAPI extension. This is, for example, how the pre-ISA
proxy server works. It recognizes URLs directed to the proxy, stores the
original URL away so that the extension can get them later, and then rewites
the URL to msproxy.dll.

Since SF_NOTIFY_PREPROC_HEADERS happens before any analysis of the request
is done (only HTTP parsing has been done at this point), the URL from the
client does not have to correspond to anything. The filter can take care of
telling it where to go.

I'm not sure what you mean by "IIS still has issues when it comes to
determining what is a directory and what is not". IIS has no such
limitation.

Thank you,
