What do you mean by redirecting of specific url to other url?

sajid zafar_Iqbal 15-Jul-13 9:06am

if a request contains the path of my attachments folder then it will redirects to a page example abc.aspx ???

Are you sure, you want to redirect to login page all the time?

sajid zafar_Iqbal 15-Jul-13 9:03am

yes but in the way when requested url contains the path of my attachments folder.
then in the case redirects to login

As you mentioned login.aspx that draw me to the assumption, that you want to implement form based authentication. You don't need IIS level redirecting to do that, since IIS has support for this in conjunction with asp.net.
Take a look here:

thanx for reviewing and answering my question is that if any one types in url the path of my folder attachments then it will automatically redirects to some page not specific login page.
i have implemented in global.asax in pplication_AcquireRequestState event but it didn't works.

Ok, but you want to redirect unconditionally? If so, why don't you simply put that folder out of IIS scope, or deny http access totally on that folder? If you want to allow only authenticated users to get access than it is a neat authentication-authorization kind of task.

I have reviewed it already but the problem is that it will redirects all the url to destination url all requests will automatically redirects to destination url.
how to deal with a single request or to redirect a single request to a apecific url not for all requets ...

Joezer BH 15-Jul-13 9:14am

Why do you want to edit the IIS if you only want to handle a single request?
Please explain some more...

* Handling a single request can be easily done on the application level.

if my url contains the folder named attachments like (http://localhost/PHSSeC/Attachments/abc.aspx)
then it must be redirects to any other page (such as login, home etc)
but not opens a that request http://localhost/PHS/Attachments/
